Is it me or is every new route downgraded these days?! 

Does seem to be the trend, but no one has been badly hurt either.

When my kids go out to onsight E8+, I do hope that they won't be risking their lives on something much harder than what they are expecting.

I wasn't making a particular point Bonos, I was just following you round the threads this morn. I had just come from the CA thread. However the fact is a long list of people offering congrats to someone who (as far as I know) doesn't frequent these shores is perhaps a little silly. But it is still a mighty effort on his part and my comments were genuinely meant.
I was about to enter into the grading debate that is blossoming here but then realised I need to go and make the offspring his tea...

Little vid over on the other channel. Looks extremely hard & insecure. Good effort that man.

Then you just have to do an unprotected couple of English 6b moves in a death situation.

Oh is it just a couple of unprotected 6b moves in a death situation? Phew! I'll be along later in the week for a quick send.
