Remarkable waddage but not 'significant' - Chris Smith has done The Brute, in two days(!), as his first at the grade. Quickest ascent yet apart from CWP's flash.

 :strongbench: Yeah noticed that, if it's the Chris Smith I've seen at the cornice he's bloody tiny as well, as in I'd like him to be near me for photos.

Nice Chris! Didn't Wiz do it second go recently? Certainly in a day anyway. Good first 8b!

Very waddage as first 8b in that time. Shows good potential!

I watched him, he basically onsighted it but was reported as a flash. P.R was shouting up beta but he didn't hear/use most of it, just front-on crimped to glory

Well I don't have any friends and didn't watch anyone do anything, but I do have 6 new quickdraws I'm looking to offload if anyone wants them?

Were you in Magic Wood around July? Someone who didn't look entirely dissimilar was there with Loads of pads and a camera while I was there for the day (passing through). [/stalker alert]

Edited to say I'm clearly a shit stalker as I then noticed that I could peruse your videos and, lo and behold, 22 minutes from Magic.   :slap:
