Was wondering about that myself, turnip and highrepute I'd say. Don't know who the third could be? Someone who doesn't post much like variable or shauna, or someone amusing themselves?

If by that you mean guessing a suitable figure to back up your point then being proved incorrect later - spot on ;)

turnips BO2014 doesn't have any 8B+? Of course he may not care about the grades...

I was guessing Carlisle Slapper too

Granted, its an amazing problem, but it is also a limestone boulder problem and not the best problem at the crag!

Crikey.... statistical proof that I'm sub-normal.  Having only bouldered outside a handful of times seems a pitiful excuse.... must do better (albeit, during the short window between it being dry and warm enough for my fingers not to go numb, and routes being tenable).  First though, a commiseration scotch (it is Burns Night after-all).

I reckon the results could be bias towards the higher grades.  People are more likely to vote if they have climbed a high grade. 

Maybe there should be a number of moves limit as well.  I feel bad for voting 7C+ now as it was a long link in the cave!

I'd be interested to know who you think i am?

ScottyGillery hasn't voted, he told me he'd only climbed 5B this year and didn't want to be grouped with 5A climbers. And routes are more his thing anyway.

James Jacobs at a guess.

I reckon barrows voted 8C thinking it was one of the F8cs he'd kneebarred to death in the Cave.

High repute I thought you were dom bridgewood, if not I've seen a vid of you doing striker at burb nth, presuming it's you? Anyone who can do that can climb at least 8B

I'm neither Dom nor my lanky friend climbing striker; Jacob's progress has been slow I think that's the hardest thing he's bouldered. :boxing:

Sorry I was told it was you, rest assured I'm going to speak to the person that told me. I said the person on Striker was tall and I got ridiculed!

Median is 7C so far. Strong!
Closer to 7B+ now.  Hope it keeps filling in.  This really does show how high performing UKB is, and is also a good reminder of how far outside the "norm" of climbers we sit.   

Anyone know how many weekly unique posters UKB averages?

Not been on for while. Due to a busted back I only got out 3 times late last season, pretty much when heat meant the season was over. One 7B/7B+ resulted. Due to my lack of form I expected this was soft but numerous failed attempts by similar sized much fitter, stronger mate suggested maybe not.
