DC came close on RA into TC years ago. As Dan said the linking part of RA into TC is supposed to be hard.

Great effort from Jack!

Still, so many hard links still to do in the cave it's almost endless.

A great straight-ish up one would be Hatchatrocity into Bonnie or In Hell into TC or Bonnie would be mega. Cave needs an 8C!

how about replace rockatrocity with Louis Armstrong then you have some strong pulling for sure

Yeah, Last Stand into Louis into the Bonnie Extension would be the hardest link in there I guess...

[Doylo]

The new thing is harder than Directors for sure. 7C+ into Halfway rather than 7C. Plus a couple more moves and more pumpy as you have to pull down on Rocka whereas on Lou you just fall into holds off heels. Pete Robins seems to think that Mcclure did this years ago though as he had a few sessions on Big Link into Trigger. The way he did Trigger was still one of the most dismaying things I've seen in there.

[Doylo]

Every time I hear of a new link up in the Cave, I think, Desory was a flipping monster, pretty much doing in Hell into Clyde, 10 years ago???. (Then I think, what the fuck happened to Mickey).

Would be the hardest PE problem in the country. He was so close too.

[Doylo]

Not really a repeat, but somebody has found a couple of new holds to use in Parisella's.

No new holds I'm afraid

Cheers everyone.

Yeah Doylo's right no new holds, I'd say it probably is harder than Directors looking at the grade of the links, only really had one proper go at this and got really close to doing it. Lou is wet at this time of year to so i've not been back on it yet.

Trigger cut just seems to keep coming at you when you do it from anywhere else in the cave, when i first watched DC trying it on Doylo's youtube i couldn't believe he dropped it from where he did. I then managed to drop it maybe ten times after this in the last month or so.

Hang on, so Lou Ferrino into Trigger Cut has been done (Directors?) but not Rock Atrocity into Trigger Cut (this new thing)?

All the strong regulars must be kicking themselves.

Anyone happen to know how many low starts can be done into Rock Atrocity?

wobbly block, pit of hell, hatch, last stand, pilgrim, maybe more?

Wobbly block and pit of hell probably wouldn't be that worth while (they pull on in strange places even by cave standards), Pilgrim, Hatch and the 'In" start would be the three i'd guess.

Effort Jack!

Some of the best lines remain undone, Hatch into Bonnie - straight line middle of the cave, no skirting off into easier problems like the link i did. For me this would trump any other link simply because of how straight it is.

Lou into clyde still wants doing. Anything other than Ferrino into Incredible bulk.

Plus anything from the bottom of the cave into trigger, which is the one i'm really keen for.

Two 8B's in a week! Directors Cut the mans way, effort Jack! Was warm on the Orme today too.

Cheers Luke. You're not wrong it was definitely warm today, conditions were as good as they've been in a while though. Really glad to get that one done quickly.

Le Dernier Triggertrocity has a good ring to it, would be the living end though, 8A move, then some awkward but not too hard moves to RA, then two 8As or 7C,7C+,7C+ back to back depending on where you split the problems up.

Significant!

Melissa Le Neve has done Mecanique Elementaire (8B+) too - https://www.instagram.com/p/BRtudJtA5In/?taken-by=melissaleneve&hl=en

[Duma]

she mentions Nalle did jour de chasse too - this still given 8C?

oh, and

[Nibile]

Pfft... Dem comp climberz and their crappy rock skillz.

[turnipturned]

Guess these aren't repeats, but still significant, sounds like Mike Adams has put up two 8C's recently.

Serenation at Impossible Roof- basically Serendipity Sit (8B+) into Tomohawk (8B)
Bordello at Earth Quarry- which I presume is a sit start to this:
 

How many 8C's are there now in the UK? And how many have been repeated?

From the top of my head:

Shadowplay (unrepeated)
Il Pirita (unrepeated)
Serenata (Ned and Dawid)
These two (unrepeated).

Boom! First french-woman to do 8B+ I believe.

I saw Seb Bouin hike “Definicion de Resistencia (Democratia)” yesterday, but as he seems to take 9a rather than 9a+ for it, I'm not sure it's significant.

And Walk Away sitter (unrepeated).

But yeah, awesome stuff from Mike!

I don't know whether to be inspired or dismayed that one of the hardest problems in the world is in a quarry in Conisborough.

[Will Hunt]

You know that thing where people would take a crop of Gaskins' face when he was trying really hard and paste it over a picture of themselves on a boulder problem? I think Mike's face at 0:40 is the new Gaskins face for our times.

Stefano Ghisolfi has done La Rambla fourth go. Significant, I think.
