Anyhow - respect due for MI, WOB, CW blocstart, BTB and CS - all in the 1980's.
I didn't miss it, I just didn't hang on it for ages showboating...
LEG END.
Establishing the first font 7c / English 7a problem in 1980...
QuoteEstablishing the first font 7c / English 7a problem in 1980...Haston's Dyno at the Breck (V10/ 7c+) was done in 1979 or 1980. I think he'd done a similarly hard problem in 1978.

Anyway, I did the start using the sidepull/undercut right of the left-hand pinch - much easier this way, prob only 7b/+. I had to pop a little to hit the jug, but if I was an inch taller it would be totally static, and if you were 5'11"/6' ish you could reach with your feet in the break this way. I wonder how Gawthorpe did it?
