Fraser Mcilwraith (15), Scotland's answer to Justin Bieber, climbed Sabotage at Dumbarton today. Amazing effort!

After flashing an 8b+ in the Jura a couple days ago, Matilda Soderlund just boshed out her first 8c there too... in four tries!

Talked with Neil Mawson about her 8b+ flash last night. He was there with Ste Mac as part of the Marmot team trip when she did this. He said the crag is like the Chee Dale Cornice so they thought they were in but the routes turned out to be be desperate. She asked if anyone wanted to have a go before stripping it. None of the guys took her up   :lol:

At Malham yesterday 14 year old Alex Waterhouse from Devon redpointed Raindogs. He's already done Cider Soak and Pet Cemetery (8a+) at Ansteys.

Also Aiden Dunne (12) got to the last move twice and is back on it today.

Funny watching these midgets try it alongside the gigantic Tom Briggs.

..though I did use Alex's "tall man's sequence" at the top not bumping the left hand into the undercut.

Pretty impressive watching both these lads. And also the first time that I've seen a laser pointer used at the crag, plus instant video feedback from someone filming with an Ipad. Things have most certainly moved on!

BMC comps twitter feed is reporting he did it and is the youngest GB climber to climb it at 12years 4 months

Saw one lad do the last few moves on it on saturday looked like and he absolutely pissed it (from what I saw).

Imagine getting Ed to use a laser pointer!!! It took a big argument to get him to use a clipstick - though he loves it now.

I'm not sure about the the ethics of shining a light into someone's eyes to put them off, especially if they're only 12.

Wow, that's incredible - he's pretty small for a 12 year old. Just his set up for the final move to the chain involved many more moves than 'normal'.

Really good effort by Aiden, who after redpointing Raindogs flashed Something Stupid, Just Another Dead End Job and Rated PG too the same afternoon.
He is the youngest Brit to climb 8a at 12, Pete Dawson was previously the youngest at nearly 13 and Randy Roby did Raindogs just after his 13th birthday.
Has anyone any idea who was youngest to flash / onsight one?
Who was it? Leo, Ben Bransby, Ed Hamer, Jonny Stocking, it would be interesting to know.

Also is Shauna at 15 the youngest female, when she did Raindogs?
