Effort Turnip

[Stu Littlefair]

Katy Whittaker has done China Crisis 8b+ at Oliana. 4 British gals have now climbed 8b+, who's gonna be first for 8c?

A bit surprised this hasn't attracted more comment. As hard as any British woman has climbed and knocked off without much fuss on holiday.

Are we just not as interested in women's climbing?

[a dense loner]

No

Such an amazing looking route as well, what a place to do your first eh! You get the impression that given time and support she could take it further ...right, onto fish eye

I don't know Adam Pete. I can't help it if I prefer Europe to North wales lime 

You're not unique in that respect, it's a million times better than NWL. But I don't live there.

[Grubes]

nice one Dan and Katy

Viva l'Italia!!!

[Stu Littlefair]

Nibs - Gabri had a damn good go at Hubble too. No tick, but I've never seen anyone look so strong on it...

[Doylo]

Apparently Megos was looking good on it too having one really good go but never went back.

[Nibile]

Cheers Stu, glad to know. I knew Gabri wanted to try it, was curious to know how he'd done.
I don't know how so many climbers pretend to ignore Hubble. It's a route that should be on any professional (or aspiring pro) climber's ticklist. I'm glad Gabri tried it, must be amazing being there and trying the moves.

Ben Bransby has repeated Pete Whittakers Baron Greenback (E9)

Well done Ben. 


Ticking of a few things before the round the world trip? What else is on your list?

[Wood FT]

Brilliant, wonder how it felt in relation to The shot

[pjkp]

Great effort Ben
