Mega! Great to see people putting the work in on Steve's routes, what an amazing line at one of the best crags in the UK.

They are the same lines just a different sequence. Eder does a big move up and left to a good hold instead of rolling over to the sloper or somthing like that. I haven't been on the moves so can't quite say. All I know is it's definitely the same route not a variation

Rainman for Eder!

Nice one, thanks for clarifying. There's a time and a place for eliminates and it's not on long routes!

What does this mean?

Any new knee bars that steve didn’t use? Has the grade held up?

Proposing a different name for the route? 😀

From what I understand Eder goes left to good holds on Rainshadow and then traverses back right at a higher height. Toby and Josh have been trying it direct.

2 new ones. One hands off on Raindogs and one pretty much hands off higher on meat of route.

Not sure Josh or Eder really care about the grade they have had a hell of a ride!

[abarro81]

Is the higher no-hander not the one Steve used, just that Josh and Eder are better at milking it? (The one after the RS crux section) Or is there another one higher than that?

Yeah thats the one. Didn't realise Steve used one. These lads are just knee wizards.

The one on Raindogs seems really good for them but how much better is it than the bridged rest after chain.

(Just watched Steves vid and he does get a rubbish knee but doesn't wear a pad. )

These don't sound the same...

The good hold Haydn is referring to is I believe on Rainshadow

Young lad called Felix (not sure of surname) climbed Stevolution, 9a, at Raven Tor this morning. Moments before the sun hit. Classy stuff.

That’d be Wilkins

Doh! Right you are

Eders just done rainman! 💪

Interesting to see how much he's getting out of the knees. Being able to get a hands off after the roof boulder problem must make a big difference.

Downgrade incoming?

[shark]

Downgrade incoming?

No. He’s said 9b still. 😅

[Wellsy]

9b still even with all the knees? Steve Mac is an absolute animal to have done it without em.

[shark]

Special to have continuous uncut footage like that and see the emotion at the top.

Well done Marsha capturing it.

[Doylo]

Makes me chuckle that McClure’s been saying in interviews for 20 years his strength is being an engineer/ working out weak mans beta/ refining every body position then this happens on his hardest route.

[shark]

Steve did experiment with that kneebar rest but couldn’t get it to work

[Pope B]

Ondra also got hands off at that second knee bar I think?
