I think 8A (!!) says as much as E8 8A, and is less confusing with uk tech 8a.

...further to JB's post, I should point out that Pete did not top rope the exit groove

But he did rope the bottom then? Or was it just for cleaning? I'm not being picky or policing ethics here, the above just seems to add confusion given the cats cradle in the video!

He tried the hard lower section twice on a top rope. The rope was left in place (albeit tucked off to the side in the gully) because we couldn't be arsed moving it and it would make no difference - once you're in reach of the rope you are well above the difficult climbing.

Don't think the crux of Indian Face would be 7A slab in Font would it  :whistle:
