You can have AF8a+ of course....

That could make it 7c+. Or 8a. Or 8a+. Or 8b  :???:

What if youve done it but totally lost confidence in what grades are because all the people you climb with think its a different grade and they are all different heights and morphs anyway and use different sequencies and clip longer draws and use different boots to you and your weak on crimps but have strong loins and the first ascentionist did it in a helmet and with a head jam and then your saw a german bloke in a kilt flash it and now your just really confused and outofbreath.  :shrug:

 :agree: but it's definitely 8a. You have to look at it in view of similar-ish climbs e.g. The Thumb (8a, harder for the pumped), Cold Steel (8a, similar), They Brush me (8a+ and a lot harder), GBH (8a+, harder), Zoolook (???? :shrug:???).

WTF, harder for the pumped? you'll have to explain that  :ras:

Its a lot harder if your stamina aint so good, but its just a comparison for the 8a grade. You'd breeze up it, there's only two small holds on it, the rest are huge  :jab:

Here's a poll for you.
Then we can get an AF bouldering grade chart as well.
