Quote from: "dave"to be honest he could grade things hes done whatever he wants cos ain't no fucker going to go and try them Eeezee now, young man. This fucker has been practically living in boulder fields in Scotland this year! :twisted:
fair doos! hope you get a quick repeat.
>I don't think the Ace has had a repeat yet...Does anyone know anything about this being repeated very recently?
Strange, I've seen that post somewhere else :wink: He has done Aeons (8b) at Fairy Steps - can you give something two grades more than the hardest thing you've done? The only real way to find out is for somebody capable to go and repeat it.
when someone (or a small group) is opperating in isolation grades can and will go apeshit. take the peak bouldering in the late 80s early 90s. a relativley small group operating in isolation and you get grades like The Thing at engish 8a going around!
