No. Except when he sets a V9.  :P
I think that is where i am going wrong nowadays. I base everything on a Vickers V8+.

Check the yellow out at West View. Old  featured bouldering wall. Wouldn't be the first one either.

The video was taken a diffrent day to the ascent, on the original I made cjd sit there while I dabbed less and less till i didnt dab.  For the purpose of showing the new problems and warming up while waiting for chris to turn up one day it didnt seem worthwhile to do that again, especially as I wanted to save skin and energy to try other projects.  So there we go, but double dyno does sound quite tricky.  This all does kind of ruin it as a problem I admit, but I didnt dab, cos if you dab you dont get the tick, right?

Yer 4 sure. The rest of them on the old comp wall are really really really stiff as well. A bit perplexing. Must be all the scrumpy he drinks.

Cruella - 7b (hard)
Grasswind - 7c (soft)
Special K - 7c (Soft)

I'd agree with most there Senior Lincoln, although Special K should warrant 7c+.

As Nodder correctly points out, infuriating as they may well be - a dab is a dab (or as they are well known 'a Yorkshire Power Dab'). 

You don't touch nuffin in these parts young Master Air:). Very impressive flashing though, and the bouldering was pretty mint to.

My tuppence on the numbers:

Special K 7c
Grasswind 7c
Phantom power 7b/+
Wonderwall 7b
Cruella 7b

Thought all were pretty standard for the grade and most high quality too! Special K is maybe higher end 7c I think but not quite a plus!
