This might be vaguely interesting for the more anally retentive list-lovers among us. Supposedly a list of all routes of 8c+/9a and above and the peeps that have climbed them. Ondras in the lead with 41!

Andradas coming in second with 33, though he does get 5 ticks for variants on Ali-Hulk. Silk-cut even warranted inclusion!

Lots and lots of errors with the UK stuff. Now if only r-man had done it

Sharma topping the F9bs tho

And yeah I don't pay attention to lists unless r-man has been on the case.

I am loving Neil Carlson's ascent of Big Band!!

Jaspersharpe · December 09, 2009, 12:37:44 pm

Is that at the Tor?

shurt · December 09, 2009, 01:34:04 pm

Jaspersharpe · December 09, 2009, 01:56:25 pm

Does it matter?

Punt'X gets a different grade, depending on who climed it.

jwi · December 09, 2009, 04:05:57 pm

Magnus Mitbö is not Swedish.

Echo Wall could well be 8c+/9a? Non?

Doylo · December 09, 2009, 05:00:56 pm

WHo knows, not if he's used Darwin Dixit to grade it!

i really wonder which was the "big band" that neil carson named his route after: the rolling stones? deep purple? or maybe the beatles, being that close.
$:-\$

He could have used A Muerte I guess? That seems to have settled at 8c+/9a unless Paul thought that was piss too?!

None of the above, the article is wrong as Carson named it after the cataclysmic event that bought the Universe into existence, The Big Bang

Yes slackers. We know.

SA Chris · December 15, 2009, 01:50:16 pm

So you mean it's not at the Tor after all?

slackline · December 15, 2009, 01:54:44 pm

Yet another sense of humor failure on my behalf, sorry Nibs.

Paul said the crux was V5

Paul B · December 16, 2009, 11:49:12 am

I don't even know what V5 is?

Its a motorcycle engine as far as I'm aware. Don't have the foggiest why one would be stuck halfway up a sport route though.

good list that one.
