Yep, I get it. There's two arguments pushing against each other. The first is that we shouldn't oversell stuff because of our local's enthusiasm, the second is that we shouldn't insist that quality should always be judged against the likes of El Cap. On top of that, don't let's undersell quality because it's not cutting edge difficulty. On balance, I'd argue the UK has some brilliant lines, even if not many that we'd say were the best in the world.

As someone who has previously been classed as being a bit negative towards the rock we've got here I think Barrows has nailed it with his list.

NSFW  :
Unpopular opinion: The relatively slick Yosemite Granite is inferior to that of Squamish.

If you can get the weather I think there is bouldering in the uk which is worth travelling for but definitely not sport routes,  there are some fun ones but nothing approaching anything good on mainland Europe.

Well that Slovenian crag has got a nice waterfall at least  :)

I wonder what Font grade he'd give the boulder problem start....

Even more off topic I'd love to see Ondrawad get back in to top end bouldering again.

8B in to soft 8c is some chunky grade maths! No wonder he was happy with the flash.

I see it often quoted as 8B/+ into 7c+, low end 9a according to the DG

More first go waddage.



Just got round to watching this, what a total animal.

Particularly enjoyed the other Slovenian's response to Adam skipping a low clip: "Ahaha... You crazy bastard!"

AFAIK Hubble's start is seen as Font 8B+ even with the kneebar

Looks like he has been on Le Voyage in Annot. Reckon he'll see that off pretty quickly.

In case anyone was still concerned Adam's bouldering ability might not be up to scratch with the world's best...another 8B/+ flash to go with flashing The Ace and the 8B start to Pescena Ura recently.

Those are some damn vivid trousers too. Looks like he's training for a flash of Voyager sds...
