Hi chris,

dont get me wrong, i think that an ascent of this problem is a fantastic effort and something that is very inspiring and something i would love to do. And i am in no way bringing down a very notable ascent by Jamie and will be the first to congratualte him when i see him.
I was just talking about the grade of this problem and what you can compare it to. For sure this problem would be 8b+ in switzerland, or even harder. But i dont think we should compare our grades to those from other countrys. I reckon that this link is of simiar difficulty to perhaps stamina band pump up the power combo, or perhaps a little easier, cus the holds are alot smaller on the first one. But thats given8b/8b+ so perhaps the trigger link is to. Like you said until i have done the problem, i wont know how it feels, so i best get stuck in for a repeat then.
Cu around rich

I think malc thinks that it probably is 8b now, trigger cut has now had 9/10 ascents (add neil dyer and gaz parry to the list) so looks like its now 8a with new beta, holds and faggotery. As for Malc not being fit, i saw him cruise the big link today in 2 halfs with a short rest so i'd hate to see him when he is fit  :shock: Could be going down soon (no pressure malc). There seems to be a bit of a cave renaissance going on at the moment. Your a punter in there these days if you can't piss trigger cut :!:

p.s unendliche geschitte or never ending.. in magic wood may not be 8c but i reckon dave graham and bernd zangeryl would have done it long ago if it was 'only' 8b. They've tried it lots.

medal company: Err, just let me check with the manager.........er, hello? I'm afraid all of our Staminaband medals have been withdrawn due to a design fault. Unfortunately they were released without enough gold in to incorporate the PUTP extension. We should have them soon if you would like to ring back. In the meantime I'm sure John will lend you his." Beeeeeeeeeeeepppppp.

Medal company: What for this time
Caller: Staminaband 3 times on the trot
Medal Company: Hold on was that the Staminaband the normal V11 version or the lanky bastards easy V10 version which misses out the crux  :wink: , as we keep getting people claiming V11 when they miss out the only hard move.
Caller: Yes it was the true V11 version, none of this woosiness.
Medal Company: Ok will post it asap

The medal company has a crucial role to play in modern climbing so if any of you hommes know of someone who needs a medal urgently get in touch and i'll give you the number of the medal company. p.s. staminaband would be v6 at the gop.
