How many brits have climbed 8c and above? (Read 28286 times)

Doylo · May 29, 2011, 10:57:19 am

Mark Leach did Make it Funky

Doylo · May 29, 2011, 11:05:44 am

I counted 20 for 8c+ allowing for a few contentious upgrades

abarro81 · May 29, 2011, 01:36:34 pm

Hulk is indeed 8b+ in the new guides for Rodellar I'm afraid

Monolith · May 29, 2011, 02:19:00 pm

Think Mike Adams once accidentally climbed Hooligan past the boulder problem though obviously had no rope to clip the chain

I'm sure Robin did Make it Funky. I remember belaying him on it one time. I was very impressed with his warm up, which consisted of yarding up the draws in his pumps and then having a go.

He did.

He;'s showing worrying signs of starting to get his shit together again this year

He accidentally onsight soloed the 40ft 8b wall above the boulder problem start?

Monolith · May 30, 2011, 02:53:29 pm

I just heard an account that he might as well have finished off the route from an onlooker and of course am speaking second hand here. What do I know about the route - nada. Though from the insanity of soloing a sky high dyno in the past without consideration of failure or a means of descent, your statement might not be such an insane proposition! As we all know though, the Haston dyno is 6b+ unless you take the hold as a mono nick

account_inactive · May 30, 2011, 05:12:11 pm

Mike's a beast but I doubt he would onsight solo the minging holds on the top of Hooligan

Johnny Brown · May 31, 2011, 08:19:10 am

Woah I din't see why yoo is all hating on the geez.

I think this information might be quite interesting to compare year by year as from by brief glance at the names, many of these were 'back in the day' and only a few are 'right here right now'?

Don't think so.

Mr Hickish has added himself to the list. We were chatting in the pub last week and were guessing how many of the 50 have done more than 1 and how many have done one at home and abroad? And how many of the ascents were in the last 5-10 years. I bloody love stats.
