Fresh from his Euro win, Aidan Roberts did Steppenwolf 8B yesterday.
(sorry if link doesn't work, it's to Nathan Phillips post reporting it on FB)

Edit: I think Ive added it to the wiki...

Did he actually do steppenwolf or did he miss out the crux first move like Nathan was trying?

Beastly Squirrel · July 31, 2015, 08:06:55 pm

he did it the RH over method for the first move

monkey boy · July 31, 2015, 08:08:01 pm

Starting off the two undercuts?

Yes.

Good lad! Beast!

Good man, I say man

Don't you all live in the south west? 2 of you replied within half hr of each other to defend young Aidan, but no ones spoke up for the stronger guy. Weird.

Dense, if you're thinking to change your name to Holmes; have a cup of tea and run the deduction again.

Aidan lives near Ambleside.

Even better

Did I hear Big Sam Whittaker recently did 8b?

a dense loner · August 21, 2015, 01:33:14 pm

I don't know did you? But he did

Dirty cave, dernier atrocite. Something like that

fatneck · August 21, 2015, 07:20:00 pm

Ah yes...

Surely Crouch's next 8b there!?!?

a dense loner · August 21, 2015, 07:32:11 pm

No it's got a hard move on it

Nibile · August 23, 2015, 11:15:14 am

How hard is the first part of La derniere, before joining Rock Atrocity?

a dense loner · August 23, 2015, 11:59:52 am

Hardest move in the cave, apparently

Nibile · August 23, 2015, 12:08:12 pm

So a four moves 8a?

a dense loner · August 23, 2015, 12:27:49 pm

No idea, doylo will know

Doylo · August 23, 2015, 12:31:52 pm

Not sure how hard that move is but there's not too much pump factor into RA.

I like the way he spanks himself for encouragement. Seems a good motivational technique.

Nibile · August 23, 2015, 03:50:27 pm

I was just curious to know the grade of the added start, to have some reference for home projects. Must be a hard start to bump the grade from (hard) 7c to 8b.

Doylo · August 23, 2015, 06:01:19 pm

It must be an 8A move with a few tricky shuffles right into RA. If you've done RA lots the end will be fine, it's only 5 moves into it. Sam's got massive biceps so the hard move went pretty quick for him, he just needed to get the PE.
