Surprised no-one has mentioned that Bolger did era vella the other week, his 7th 9a. Catching up with Steve? Anyone know how many he's done?

Melissa Le Neve repeated Wall Street!

Allez Melissa! Not bad for a boulderer.

This is flipping awesome. Way more impressive in my book than the stamina 8c-9a pitches women have climbed in Spain.

It's filthy hard, it's reachy. It's flipping Wallstreet!!

Thanks Paul. This is still blowing my mind. I spent a day trying Wallstreet a couple of years back. I was climbing 8b+ in a couple of goes at the time. Conditions were perfect. Couldn't do a single move.

What a beast Le Neve is

Interview with Melissa on Planet Mountain

[davej]

After reading Stu's comments and the interview on planet mountain have a few more of these! 

[a dense loner]

Yep what a route to do!!! 

[SA Chris]

Has it had stacks of other ascents in its history? The article doesn't say. That heelhook looks whack.

Melisa is a true beast.

It was a shame that she was injured when she came to CWIF in March.

Old skool 8b+. 

Another one that got upgraded when the stamina plodders realised they were overgrading everything in comparison to the original hard routes.

But let's talk about those Five Ten...

Wallstreet became 8c when Wolfgang filled a hold in with cement after it was blowtorched bigger, and reclimbed it. It's always been 8c in its current form.

Curses Ru. Stop letting the facts get in the way of a good story.

But let's talk about those Five Ten...

Fiveten hiangles. Stiffer in the sole, softer in the uppers (no lining, leather at the back). Apparently targeted to plastic-fed beginners getting their first pair of downturned shoes. And climbing 8c on their first day outside, of course.

Alex Luger greenpoints another 8b+ on the fantastic looking Bürser Platte, home of Prinzip Hoffnung.

Blatant DMM advertising:

The bouldery crux is protected with a IMP 2 and the run out is around four to five metres but thankfully I never fell from higher than one metre above that gear.

According to Hazel Finday's FB, James Mchaffie has climbed The Salathe free, ground-up. No details, doing the headwall in one pitch does make it a bit harder. This route gets quite regular ascents now but still a very good effort, in excellent style by the sound of things.

It's about time The Nose had another free ascent.
