The route is graded 5.15a in American money, and this equates to 9a+, meaning that Paul is clearly no slouch in roped climbing.<br /><br />Jaws II is one of America's toughest sport climbs, and one of the few to be awarded the coveted 5.15 grade. Paul has been trying the route for a long time now and it sounds like he's pretty chuffed to have finally got it. There is some controversy over whether the route actually deserves 5.15 as 5 people have now climbed it, suggesting that it might quite be as cutting edge as it seems. Either way, it's brutally hard and I'd be pretty pleased to do it!<br /><br />Paul has won the American Bouldering Series National Championships and has also flashed a V13 boulder problem -- possibly the first person to achieve this (it's a bit of a grey area). He's also climbed V15/16 and is now in the rarified air of 9a+ sport climbing.<br /><br />Paul Robinson Climbs 5.15a Jaws II In Rumney | EpicTV Climbing Daily, Ep. 162<br /><br />-------------------------<br />EpicTV produces hundreds of EpicTV original action sports series, with new releases every day.
