We just got word that Kevin Jorgeson was attempting Gaia E8 in the UK when he fell from the top and decked! Pete Ward was chatting with Kevin this morning and filled us in on the news. Kevin took a huge fall from the top of Gaia and landed on a small bouldering pad.  Luckily, he was able to walk away from it! Pissed that he fell from the top of Gaia, Kevin walked around the corner looking for redemption. What he found was Meshuga, a slopy E9 made famous by the cover of Hard Grit. Kevin quickly soloed Meshuga without any pads! He had previously been on the route, but had not yet linked it. More info coming as we know more...
