Couple of new items.

Re Meshuga. Is it significant? I'd suggest it is, from the perspective of reporting where the bar is currently set. Knowing what other people are up to provides a springboard for renewed effort and psyche - leading to others trying to push things further.

Secondly, Luke Dawson repeated Brian (8c+) at Anstey's today.

Fourth ascent after Ken, Ellis BB, and Pete Dawson.

Hot off the press  ;D

Awesome, good effort Luke.
Also Dan Turner didn't Lanny Bassham this afternoon, best on Yorkshire Grit imo.

I persist in spamming the thread with insignificant repeats...

Seb Bouin is half-way through his autumn project of climbing the first route of every grade in France. So far has he done Magie Blanche (8b+ in Mouriès), Super Plafond (8c+ in Volx) and Azincourt (8c in Buoux). About the latter he says that it is a notch harder then La Cabane au Canada (9a not in France), despite only having around ten hard moves, and that it is pointless to work the route for a long time as you'd only get flappers. Sounds lovely.

Please keep posting jwi, lest we become too parochial! Love Seb's current project, been following on his Instagram. The latest pic of agincourt is amazing. I thought he was refraining from commenting on la cabane?  ;)

A good non-send clip from Turnip https://www.instagram.com/p/BphuWV-hCw6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Wow that's an impressive slam.

It's also a very long walk when you need stitches or have concussion. Bon effort

Lucien, the aspiring French downgrader-in-chief interviewed Seb for Grimper and managed to get a comment... 😆

Do you think he's deliberately trying to piss off Julia Chanourdie?  ;)

Good rare tick Agincourt. Not surprised it’s harder than a long pumpy ‘9a’ that loads do for their first. Short hard pocket routes will give most people flappers.

Source? Assume you mean Beth Rodden's Meltdown? Looks like he's been trying it sporadically since 2012!

This (and indications from others) might have provided the extra encouragement needed to get it done.

Predator.

Probably falls outside the realm of significant repeats if we're honest, quality and hard route that it is! Strong euphemistic instagram spray though...

Ah yeah for sure! I thought by the fact he was saying it was way out of his league etc and that it would have been rainshadow or overshadow!

I would have thought he'd path Predator, makes me feel better getting stuck on it!
