I think Jason's is generally considered 7C+

It's not though  :)

Are you downgrading to 7C?!  :ohmy:

Sideliner maybe?  :ras: :lol: :worms:

I haven't flashed sport 8a, but done the others. What's the best choice for an unfit boulderer? :lol:

Been meaning to do this for a while now.

If you had the beta I think you'd flash The Big Apple at Stoney. It's fierce bouldery climbing, rather than being pumpy.

Permadry too I would imagine.

Salar if it’s still 8a.

Quite hard if you're short.

Salar, R&H, Out of my tree, Hot fun, Subculture, Baby chimes... there's loads. All crap compared to the longer ones though! Baby chimes maybe the best?

Mussel Beach. Bouldery, soft, minimal endurance needed and it’s not crap (and you get to go LPT).

Cheers for the suggestions. I have done boulders of R&H and OOMT. I think I have tried Salar as well, I've definitely looked at it! What's the one at the Tor just to the right of pinches wall section? Big locky moves between ok holds? Sure someone recommended that.

You might be thinking of Call of Nature. If you're prepared to go to those dizzying enduro heights then the world's your oyster. Or at least slightly disapointing uk lime is: the toilet, powerplant, roof warrior, freemonster, raindogs, probably upstairs at Malham, le lapin (kilnsey), anything at Cheddar...

That's the one!

Been on Free Monster years ago and dogged up RD to get to RS boulder.

That stays pretty dry as well, doesn't it?

You wouldn't feel like you'd done an 8a on that one.

Is this a joke?! Or does the "7bish" boulder grade extend quite a way!

Entree is bouldery, but fucking savage for 8a. Shame Lockless got downgraded, that used to be a free 8a onsight for those who wanted one.

I think Jason's is generally considered 7C+

Can't comment on the grade of Jason's (yet) but Pope has flashed at least a few 8th grade boulders, just too lazy to do anything harder. At home he's flashed up to 8A and I think 8A+ abroad.


Pretty sure Caff hasn't flashed 8A. Imagine Robbins has done 8a and E8 and has the ability to have done an 8A but might have spent all his time developing new things instead. Agree Jordan, Ryan or Dave Mac could well have, it's just the 8A I'm not sure about. Could also be someone like Varian or Micky P could slip on if one of the highballs gets E8.


As for Caff i'd be surpirsed if he has done 8A at all! #weak  :jab:

Isn't he on the FA of some 8A highball in the Ogwen section of the NWBible, or is that just some 7B+ with 8A's worth of highball terror?

He is yeah, I was merely poking fun. Couple of highball 8s he put up in the guide yeah, think only one has seen a repeat. And a load of 8th grade repeats.

Jack, did I see you had repeated Isles of Wonder? Effort and, I assume, noteworthy!
