How many women have onsighted 8c? Is that the top level? I recall Janja did a few.

[remus]

Havent done much research so potentially an incomplete list, but I count four women who have onsighted 8c.

Sam Ley for making the 6th ascent of Achemine E9 7a, Dumbarton Rock. His hardest sport grade was 8a.

Beast! Sounds like it's around 8a+/b climbing, so quite a jump to doing some of your hardest ever climbing above a decent runout.

8b to top rope. Broke his wrist on it last year falling off it badly. So even more impressive

How many RPs I the end? 60+?

What a focus!

8c onsight is top level for humans. Harder than 9a+ rp by all accounts. Less than two handfull climbers have ever done better than 8c, maybe just five climbers if we are demanding harsh grades, whereas more than 50 climbers have done 9b

Makes me laugh every time I check this list https://climbing-history.org/list/37/hard-sport-climbing-onsights When it comes to onsighting there's Ondra and then there's everyone else.

The cut-off should be at 8c really imho....

I'm mostly blown away by Magnus Midtbo.

Obviously Ondra and Megos etc are even more impressive, but Magnus is amongst a select few and yet has this persona of just being a bumbly you-tuber. I'm not saying false modesty is good or anything, it's just that I was taken unawares.

[Nails]

32 onsights 8c+ or above in that list. 25 Ondra, 3 Megos and only 4 from 2020 onwards.

I wonder whether that's because of the Olympics?

For awhile he was one of the few with 9b route and 8C boulder ticks.
The boulder he downgraded years later I believe.
