No but it shows who's climbed 8b+...

I don't think the list your suggesting would really show anything like what you're hoping, it would show who had done more than one etc. There aren't an abundance of problems at that grade in this country, a few more perhaps if you live near the Orme, thats why I think your proposed list may not show what you believe it to. But then again lets make r-mans day, another list if you please ;)

1. Get on 8b list
2. Retire

I bet there's a few people that have done 2 8bs, less that have done 5 8bs.  Logic!!

Dave Mac had done 4 I think - Pressure, Supersize me, Perfect Crime, Sanction. And i think he is getting close on his Beetleback extension, which may be harder than 8b.

Sav?  not sure

Zillion Dollar Sadist was given 8a+/b, and is still unrepeated so Sav may be another.

Maybe the sarcastic Chinny Wonder smiley ain't as obvious as it should be.
Sorry SAS, had forgotten before NCB's reminder.

So that's 36 in top list, plus others mebbe.

Liam Desroy should be on the full 8B list. Even by his strict standards of grading he's taken 8B for Vecchia Leone and The Riverbed.
