A secondhand report on the 8c and above thread from Mr Chaz that Josh Ibbertson repeated Batman on weds. I’ve messaged Josh to confirm. Also gather that Toby Roberts is getting close.

No credit to me for the report from Fultonius, only marginal piss taking

According to the UKC logbooks James Taylor's route Prisoners of the Sun, E10 has had a second ascent. Hidden logbook though so not sure who. My money would be on Angus Kille.

Jim Pope.

Interview with him here.

https://www.climber.co.uk/news/pope-gets-second-ascent-of-prisoners-of-the-sun/

Interesting comments, including:

- Only spent 45 mins on a top rope before the lead.
- Felt like an E8 6c experience.
- Maybe casting doubt on some of the E7s on that wall.

Jim's certainly feeling strong at the minute :strongbench:

A comically incongruous thing to post in a thread where 7a climbing has just been described as a “trivial jug ladder” but Anna Taylor has completed all the routes in Classic Rock in just two months, mostly solo and travelling between them (apart from the ferries to the islands) by pushbike.

Obviously they’re all VS or below but there’s 83 of the fuckers, most of them are multipitch mountain routes and the English and Welsh legs are basically just a warm up for the Scotland section which includes the entire Cuillin Ridge and stuff like The Chasm. As I understand it it’s never been done before- the two previous guys to cycle it had to miss bird-banned routes out and took weeks longer.

It's an amazing feat, especially as the weather has been pretty shit and unless you time it well (prolonged dry spell) The Chasm and Clachaig Gully are essentially waterfalls. I think a couple of the Welsh ones are similar?

Wow! (And interesting comment on the photo by Ghisolphi who suggest that she should try Biographie next as it isn't really that much harder)

Also, Alex Megos has flashed another 9a, Chromosome Y, in Charmey, Switzerland, but think this one is rather 8c+

Well, that was the traditional means of getting up mountains, head for the most obvious looking feature.

She’s certainly an excellent rock climber but you might want to watch this before you throw accolades like that around.  ;)

Quite impressed by her ability to concentrate with all the photography faffing going on around her! Surely they could get their shots on a working burn or something.

Walked it. It seems likely that if she actually chooses to properly siege something she'll close what's left of the male-female sport climbing performance gap.
