Olivier Mignon sent New Base Line in his boulder area of choice, Magic Wood, in Switserland. This is not only his first 8B+ boulder, but also the first Belgian ascent of this grade. He also managed to climb four 8B's and numerous 8th grader boulders, among which Body Count, 8A+. This outstanding performance brings Olivier a step closer to the absolute top of bouldering in the world. Some say he already is at the top ...
New Base Line seems a truly difficult boulder; a crack, a few minuscule holds, combined with a few hard movements, and, there you are, 8B+. Great performance, by Olivier!
