I guess that many of you will now know that Pete Whittaker and Tom Randall soloed Ray's Roof last weekend (Pete did it twice)
Here is a link to Pete and Tom writing about their ascent - http://alexekins.co.uk/2010/11/pete-whittaker-and-tom-randall-talk-about-soloing-rays-roof

Cheers

Don't think this has been mentioned:

Mina Leslie-Wujastyk Thursday, 18 November 2010
have been lucky really as one of the boulders I was trying stays dry in the rain so I could continue to work this. It is called Alphane Moon (8A) and is a really fun climb. Kind of like board climbing on small but positive crimps. It was in varying condition as the low cloud often meant that the holds would be a bit damp but often it was in fairly good nick. It finally succumbed a couple of days ago

Hazel Findlay has done the Bachar-Yerian, alternating leads with Will Stanhope.  Female ascentionists of the B-Y must be a pretty select club.

Not Hazel:

From the Dirt Grows the Flowers 8C. This problem is in Chironico. It starts with an 8B crimping sequence through some slippery crystals and leads to a hard 8A+ mantle.

from http://www.b3bouldering.com/2008/03/10/switzerland-2/

8A+ mantle?!
