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!  :devangel:

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?

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

Does the Crocodile have to be snogging?

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

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?

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.
