Shauna Coxsey repeats the Jerry Moffatt Boulder Superman in the Peak District. The famous 8B testpiece is just one of many difficult boulders that the strong Brit has already tackled this year.
The cadence in which Shauna Coxsay climbing one hard boulder after another is more than impressive. After Fotofobia sit (8B+) and Wild Wild West (8B) in La Pedriza, The Boss (8B+) in the Peak District and Hazel Grace (8B+) on the Gotthard Pass, she recently returned to her home territory. In the Peak District she repeated the Jerry Moffatt test piece Superman (8B).
Superman is a Peak classic that I was almost certain I would never do. A real test of finger strength. I'm proud.
Shauna Coxsey
First 8A+ boulder in the world
Superman was first climbed in 1989 by climbing legend Jerry Moffatt and became famous as the first boulder with a grade of 8A+. Later, a hold breakout led to the upgrade to a grade of 8B.
