While such a compilation is interesting to a certain extent, complete and uncut videos of individual climbers' performances would be even nicer.

man i know ondra is basically the best climber in the world (as he is a teenager and climbs so F hard) but yet and at least for me Patxi Usobiaga deserves to be the best, i dont know if any of u has watched progression but the way he trains, he makess spartans look like girls...

So, in conclusion, I stand by my initial skepticism that the climb depicted in this video is 8c.

[lopside0]

Furthermore, only a few people claim to have achieved a flash of 8c at all. The FIRST person to make such a claim was Yuji Hirayama in 2004, after onsighting White Zombie 8c, 5.14b/c.

I did a little research. The hardest flash (first try) climb in the world, ever, is indeed 8c+ (5.14c), climbed by none other than Patxi Usobiaga. The climb was Bizi Euskara, and it was done in December 2007. Patxi has since flashed 8c, a fact that made climbing press worldwide, and to the best of my knowledge, noone else anywhere has ever repeated his feat of flashing 8c+.

[lopside0]

Sorry if I seem like a dick, but noone has ever flashed 9b+. This is absolutely incontrovertible fact. Noone credible has established a climb of 9b+ (5.15c) at all. Noone in the world has ever flashed 9b. There is no evidence, anywhere, to support the idea that anyone has ever flashed any problem even remotely close to that hard. I believe the hardest flash in the world is currently 5.14c.
