Pretty sure Stuart never climbed 8B. Don't think Cubby did despite being capable.  :-\

There was a thread about Mark's repeat on ScottishClimbs (which appears to have vanished) by Dave Redpath saying it was the third and he's pretty knowledgable about who's done what in Scotland, and Alan C replied to it without saying he'd done 8B and he would normally be open about something like that, (I don't mean boasting although he'd have every right)
I'm fairly sure he's done 8A+ at Dumby.

Rodma's Hueco problem is in the non-quality videos, (for some reason I can't post a link at the mo, page 45)

If only there'd been a deep fried peanut butter sandwich at the top of La Proue - then he'd be on the list. Dammit, i tried Rodma, I tried...

Pretty sure Mark is the 3rd, there's been a few Scots climbed 8a+ but not 8b, it's not an easy 8b either!!
Beast!

Cool, thanks for that.  In my haste for historical accuracy I forgot to say well done to Mark... 8b is an awesome achievement!

I think it was a Stuart on Pinch 2 on Minus Ten in my first bouldering video (I my still have it , but no video recorder to play it on!) Although it probably had some obscure eliminate rules and only got 8a+ by his sequence and has now undoubtedly been downgraded to 7c+ anyway! Plus he failed on the last move in the video anyway, so he might not have done it.

He did say "a black fly on a rainy day" though, and thats worth more than 8b. Right?

Alright Sean, you still allowed out nowadays?
Sam tickled his traverse a little while back, but I don't think he's been back on it again.  That will be a mental link!

Ondra has repeated Golpe de Estado, 9b.

He reckons hard 9b, after the breaking of a hold.
So, first confirmed repeat of a 9b then.

Afterwards he was dazed and confused and staggering around the catwalk so alamingly that Ackers had to carry him back to the car and give him the kiss of life - I heard
