That's mega, great to see her training paying off. I wonder if they've got long left on there trip, could be some more good stuff in store if so.

They’ve got another 3 weeks I think so hopefully Angus can get it done and she can do some more cool stuff!

Nicky Ceria has done La Révolutionnaire 8C+ apparently from the lower start (wasn't aware there was 2 tbh)

Just needs to smash out Soudain Seul and that's font done for him for another few years...

I think Charles first climbed it from a slightly higher start and then added the lower start a year later, as far as Im aware all the repeat ascensionists have climbed it from the lower start.

Molly TS flashed Roof of a Baby Buddah (7C+) and Flick of the Wrist (7C+) yesterday. I think that's pretty good by the standards of British women? Anyone know of other hard flashes?

Only in the sense of matching her own prior achievements by flashing The Hulk at Crag X!

9A without the kneepad

Ned appears to be out in the forest. Wonder if he's packed his kneepad?  :popcorn:

Along with 2 copies of Beastmaking, guaranteed results

Two repeats, significant not only for their respective grades:

Mari Augusta Salvesen has flashed Belly full of bad berries in Indian Creek. It is only 8a, but to my knowledge it is the first time an 8a offwidth has been flashed by a woman. (Source: Norsk Klatring)

Fabrice Landry has repeated Memorial GS in Super-Manjoc, after having removed all the holds manufactured with Sika, upping the grad from 8b+ to 9a. Last year Landry and Lucien Martinez removed all improved holds from two rarely repeated routes side-by-side on the right side of Super-Manjoc in Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val: Chicken Deluxe (previously 8c+ which I think has had a repeat by Martinez) and the aforementioned Memorial GS. Both routes were liberated from Sika with not only permission but full enthusiastic support of the first ascensionist, the legendary Eric Siguier, who isn't climbing much these days. Chicken Deluxe is probably around 9a+/b in its current state. (Source: Me)

Proper good effort that. I think Pete is the only other person to flash it so far? Offwidth power couple! It took Tom a few goes when him and Pete were absolutely smashing on their US offwidth tour.

A solid tick on the top ascents board yesterday. Hold Fast Hold True by H. Idden! Lovely conditions for it.

Not sure what thread to put this in but since this thread gets plenty of traffic; does anyone know what Nalle Hukkataival is up to these days? Feels like I've not heard of him doing anything for like a year
