Nalle repeats ‘The Island’ fb 8C

Nalle Hukkataival from Finland managed to repeat ‘The Island’, an 8c Fontainebleau boulder opened by Dave Graham in april.

Nalles’ comment: “I think the grade is right for this problem, especially for shorter people. I had problems making the big span move and I had to use intermediate holds and I was completely stretched out. It took me four days to complete it.
It’s interesting to see how very good shape for outdoor climbing helps for comps, as I was only #25 in the European champs.”
