The Wild Country FB entry didn't give much detail. Reading Tom Randall in their blog, it sounds like Pete climbed it in the same style as Cederic Lachat.

It'll keep the yanks talking over breakfast that's for sure. Awesome effort whatever by Pete.

Given the 'controversy' of whats in or out of the sig reps thread... and Jims excellent antics...

Why not start a 'significant repeats (Yoofs)' or equivalent thread?

That way this and the Ashmina and other mini wad repeats/news could ne channeled into a single thread rather than separate ones etc..? Without testing the rules of sig-reppedness? Once they're 18 they move into the senior Sig reps scope :)


Or is this just far too sensible?

+1 Great idea, should be called "Effort Yoof!"

It would appear Ellis Butler Barker has done two 8bs in font, each in a session, in consecutive days; Fatman and Fou Rire.

What about if (when) strong yoots do something considered sen sig rep. Should it go in both eff yoo and sen sig rep, or just one or the other?

That's impressive!

What is the difference between Fatman and Gourmandise by the way?

Fatmans never started from a sitter. Thought loads of holds had been chipped off this? Interesting. Fou rire is a traverse

Bleau.info says Fat Man has broken and is no longer possible from the lowest start. Guessing EBB did the racouri which may have been upgraded since the hold broke?? No ascents logged since early 2000's anyway so that's impressive in it's own right

You say impressive I say highly unlikely that what you're guessing is right

Gcw Fred did a sitter years after the first lot of ascents, so it went from a sit but that's not fat man as it was known

not to be 'that guy' but isn't Fou Rire 8b font *traverse* grade? those more knowledgable will know what that means in terms of font bouldering grades...
