8a v ukc
April 02, 2009, 11:50:26 am
Which does your head in more?  :-\   

I'm sure all Johnny G lovers  :bow: will forgive 8a many sins for putting Shadowplay top of hardest prob in the world to repeat list. But does that put it above ukc??

Am  I right in assuming that Bavukc is that East European chap who was at The Plantation the other night?

I think as logbooks go UKC is the best available at the minute. I absolutely hate the terms they use though "sent"... etc.  :wank:

Having said that Paul, "sent" does seem to wind up some of the "thinking so far in the box they might as well be locked in it forever" anti-bouldering morons on there, which is a good thing...

I prefer 8a, because it's much quicker and easier to see what my friends (and everyone else) have been up to. I'm often inspired to go and try something when I see someone else has just done it. The way routes/problems are ordered by grade makes them much easier to browse than on ukc, which has an awful list system. Perhaps it's good for trad, but I'm not interested in that.

For me, 8a is much more about sharing the pysche.

Personally, I find both very useful. Why would you use a website that winds you up?

What's this really about, n_man,? Is it raining in Castle Hill or something?  ;)

I do rate the logbook system on UKC except for people logging every unsuccessful attempt on a route with TR dnf or Lead dogged. Write a comment if it's constructive otherwise fuck off and stop clogging the pages up with your insipid shit.
