And i thought v8+ had become a historic relic, watch out everyone this is v8+ Mach 2. A dangerous and virulent grade that is determined to forge its way into a guidebook near you!

It never went away, it was just resting, waiting for the right moment to strike! Ha, ha!

So 8A is like a long V8.

long V8 + short V7

...hey, does that mean Powerband is E10?

...hey, does that mean the Longridge traverse is E12?

surely it must be.

...hey, does that mean Powerband is E10?

Only if you put a vat of caustic underneath it. Or a Dangerous Crocodile.

Does the Crocodile have to be snogging?

[Fultonius]

Or you could round up some spotters from Dumby, that always adds a few E-Grades!

Or ask James Pearson to grade it.  Sorry, I'll get my coat...

surely it must be.

Hardest move on the Longridge traverse is 6b and it's relatively safe, so E4. Add a grade because it's quite sustained, so top-end E5.

That's how the British grading system works, right?

I bet Mick Ryan's fucking gutted he can't join in on this thread.

Is that E5 for the onsight or the headpoint?

Hmmm, that will be down to E9 then, if he repeats it. Considering Birkett doesn't believe in E10

It's E10 just for the high break.
