UKB denizen Barrows has onsighted Momento Payaso at Otnar in Spain, weighing in at a hefty 8b+.Anyone other than him and Steve Mac in the brits who've onsighted 8b+ club?
Haha, that was quick Remus, we're not even back to the house yet!

The Sandman is a better name than Greatness Wall, however...
Waddage, man's on a tear!
So psyched that Luke has managed Rainshadow - it had to happen sooner or later with a pyramid like his!!Probably not be long before he does another!
Matthew Wright has done the fifth ascent of Achemine at Dumbarton Rock.
TBF I think Mat's post says it was the hardest trad route in Scotland in 2001, not the UK. I think he is probably right.
Hardest in Scotland sounds like it could be in the right ballpark. Not totally sure when Neil Carson did Mission Impossible but pretty sure it was pre-2001, and that's ~8b on trad gear. Sean Myles' Captain Invincible is another hard one in the UK, ~8b/+ apparently and FA in 1991, maybe felt a touch less spicy at the time as the pegs were in better condition.
