I've only been to Pabbay once and despite it being an absolutely stunningly beautiful place, I found the climbing a bit boring. I know that's not a very fashionable thing to say, but most routes we did involved jug pulling up a steep wall/crack. You don't seem to get many technical moves. The best route we did was a FA through the right side of the Great Arch, which involved some weird roof coffin block traversing action and was mildly terrifying.
Depends what Caff is up to!
Buster Martin has done Bat Route 8c at Malham today, no stopping these youths, youngest Brit to climb 8c at 16 not 17 till later this month. Well done Buster, lets see a few more hard routes go down this year.
How old was Tom Bulger when he first climbed 8c - must have been around 16?
I thought Bolger had done 8b+ (Mecca?) at 16 but not sure after that? Could well be wrong though.....
