Nalle Hukkataival sends 2 8B+'s (1 FA) in a day in Font

Published 3 months ago by Alexandra Kahn.

After recently posting a photo of his new project in Marlanval on his personal blog, Nalle was able to send the line- naming it Realist with a grade of 8B+, and later that day sent the classic Gecko Assis 8B+.

Of his first ascent, he comments on his tick list, "First ascent. Cleaned this thing just a few days ago. I can't believe there are still amazing lines like this one to be climbed in Font! The Chironico-Font combo; a Perfect mix of Font sloper hugging and Swiss style crimping!" According to his tick list, Nalle also considers Gecko Assis to be soft for the grade. Regardless of his personal feeling of the grade, two 8B+'s in Fontainebleau is one impressive feat.
