Well spotted, it didn't show up because it was a soft 8A and the search algorithm was looking for solid 8A and up. Needs fixing.

Here are all the 7C+ and up on Western Grit (ie. mostly at the Roaches).

Pretty sure Tit Grip was 7C+ and is broken or has it been reclimbed now at 8A.

Butters - cheers for the offer again. Ended up going to malham and got 3rd onsight of raindogs behind Ondra and Sharma, and 3rd ascent of transformer after Ste Mac and Malc Smith. Not bad for one afternoon. Back tomorrow to see if he can finish off the harder climb he worked all of the moves today. Bloody show off.
See what he manages in the county on Saturday.

Has Raindogs really only been onsighted 3 times? This sounds terribly unlikely...

Unbelievable but true I think. Even the Milky Bar Kid fell off it.

I guess it's because most UK climbers try it as their first 8a...

Or maybe not that unbelievable if you've been to Malham.

Not a problem - that is a slightly better day than he would have had with me though I still contest that going to Stoke to pick up a tent would look a better entry on 8a.nu.  ;)

Butters, he'll be back later in the year, and once i'd explained about Stoke and its charms, he's well psyched for it  :) Keep a day open in your diary.....
