Good effort stumpie.

BTW, could you zoom in a bit next time on the video, quite a bit of wasted space around the actual climb on that one.

[Nibile]

Mina is amazing and Will is nuts.

Like ... check Karin Magog's 8a.nu card. 3 x 8b redpoints ( she downgraded one 8b+ to 8b ) 5 x 8a+ rp.... 8 x8a .. 4 of them onsight.  Most since November last year.  Not bad for a girl !!! Brit.

Changed that for you. She's obviously a total wad.

Who's going to be the first brit female to do 8c then? And which route?

Yes, and not everyone records stuff on 8a.nu, but on that record, no1 female over 35 global, which is not bad going... probably needs to beef up her bouldering if she is going to do 8c this year....... more likely a British prodigy will appear and do it first...

[Doylo]

Hazel, Emma Twyford, Shauna and Mina have all got the potential but it depends who wants to put the effort in and siege one. If Karins finds a pumpy wall climb you never know....

Mina is amazing and Will is nuts.

I'm sure that sentence could be amusingly re-arranged...

[AndiT]

Nice one Will! I tried this on Tuesday, such a great move up......and across... And I agree about the start, desperate E5!

[willackers]

Cheers Andi.

How did you get on with it?, it took me a few goes to get it right, if it was a proper jug you were going to you could be a bit more wild, but because it's flat and quite far back you have to be very precise, absolutely brilliant to have a move like that so high up and in a relatively safe position. Great fun.

 

[Bonjoy]

I thought it was going to be a straight forward dyno but I was very wrong, the jug wasn't nearly as juggy as I was hoping it to be, and the E5 start is one of the most terrifying routes I've ever done! 

  Could be because you turned the mid height bulge too far left. This is part of my route Occam’s Raisin (E5 but with runner in crack on left). The usual Pseudonym way to turn the bulge is on the far right end of the feature with a mantel, which is easier and closer to the runner. There’s a video on youtube of someone doing Pseudonym this way.

[Jaspersharpe]

I think it's by far the most significant boulder ascent by a British woman. I hope there's more to come from Mina.

Just seen this and  Absolutely amazing.

Silly me, can I have an E8 FA? 

[SA Chris]

Can you bollocks

Nice work will, I should have put cash on you to pip Andi T to the post.

Does the guy standing at the top right teleport at 1:15?

Markus Pucher free soloed Cerro Torro last month, by way of the Ragni route.

According to 8a.nu, Toru Nakajima has repeated The Big Island, among other things (including an 8b flash).

Tommy tweeted this yesterday...

The Traphouse Short 8B Flash, Sideways Daze 8B, Satan I Helvet 8B, Elephunk 8B, Gecko assis 8B+, The Traphouse 8B+, Big Island 8C

No doubt simply whats up on 8a.nu (but I don't even bother looking at 8a.nu, candidate for the worst organised site out there).

[jwi]

Thanks, I spent a few seconds trying to find the original source, but got sidetracked when I start wondering how to write his given name (it is 徹 by the way)

[Doylo]

Le Proue 8b flashed in cresciano by Jorg Verhoeven. One hell of a flash that!

[Nizza]

Dave Mason has done Superman, great effort. Vid here:

[Doylo]

Barrows has done the 2nd ascent of Malc Smiths Pilgrimage in Parisella's. Pretty significant as the first ascent was back in 2004. It took Malc a significant amount of effort and was likely F9a/+ with his sequence. Barrows reckons it was F8c+ for him with kneebar trickery and rests.

[andy_e]

Two hard limestone ascents! Grit season is over! That means I'll have the grit all to myself again! Good effort both.

That's a shame

Can you not still do it without knee bars and take whatever grade you think it is?

2nd repeat after Tim Clifford?   

[TomP]

Nice one Dave! Good to see some limey crush!

Please correct me if I'm wrong and it would be really interesting to know but as I understand it, the following have done it since breakage:

Martin smith
Sharik Walker
Mick Adams

Micky P
Chris WP
Markus bock?
