Paul Robinson sends Big Paw

Published over 1 year ago by Alexandra Kahn.

3 hours after Adam Ondra made the third ascent of Big Paw 8C, Paul Robinson was able to make the 4th ascent.
Robinson had tried this climb a total of 3 days, making it the quickest ascent, after sending Boogalaga 8B (the stand to Big Paw) after 5 tries.

Paul does not agree with the 8C grade and believes it to be solid 8B+. When asked for his reasoning, he said that he compared it to his most recent 8C sends, Monkey Wedding and Ill Trill, and both felt significantly harder. Paul thinks of Big Paw as a 7C+ into Boogalaga.
