Paul shows that he too has Ninja Skills (V14) as he just grabbed the 2nd ascent of Nalle Hukkataival’s line in Sobrino, Switzerland.

There does not seem to be a hard line that Paul Robinson can’t conquer. Paul proved this once again as he made the trek through the snow to grab the 2nd ascent of Nina Skills. However, the weather continues to not cooperate and create a new crux as Paul spent most of the day brushing snow off the top of the climb.  The try before he sent, Paul slipped off the V0 top out due to damp holds.
Ninja Skills was uncovered a year ago by Nalle Hukkataival and includes some fierce bump moves on really bad feet. Paul confirms the grade of V14 and feels it is about as hard as the new Dreamtime.
It seems the only line that Paul has not been able to send is Dave Graham’s Story of Two Worlds. Hopefully conditions can improve so Paul can give the line a 3rd ascent.
