Sounds like the kind of thing for a Wiki page....

[petejh]

Perhaps we should set this up as a sticky topic so it can be updated as more 8's (and someday a 9) get ticked and maybe change the title to something like "Fit birds who go climbing.."

It could serve as an online source of photographic proof of ascents. Good idea Shark.

[lagerstarfish]

and an excellent soucre of beta for people who are not tall and ugly

[Ali]

no names to be mentioned, obviously, but I'd be interested to know how many of these people are over 40, over 50 etc. if anyone has a rough idea

I'd estimate half a dozen or so in their 40's and one turned 50. There are some names I've not heard of but guessing these are more likely to be younger.

If only there were some software available that allowed a web-page editable by anyone to be created and updated as required for these lists to save reposting a growing list repeatedly.

I've set up the structure and started filling in from the different threads (got work to do so don't have time to do it all now)

UK Cream of the Crop

Anyone bothered with copying the rest over and/or updating might find the information on spanning rows in Wikimedia mark-up useful, because without using rowspan for the cells in the grade column its tricky to start a new line within a tables cell for multiple entries within a grade.

Lisa Alhadeff did Aberration a few days ago 

[Mirf]

Debbie Corbett did some a few years back not sure about recently.

[Wood FT]

Lisa Alhadeff did Aberration a few days ago 

nice one to Lisa, glad to see the big leg break didn't hold you back

[danm]

Maddie and Michaela have both done Love Amongst The Butterflies 8b at the Cornice. Well good!

[jimpopeonarope]

Molly hasn't climbed Supercool but has climbed Dead calm, if thats still eligible for the list?

[Fras]

Updates: added Molly Thompson-Smith, Sophia Whyte, Mhairi Thorburn. Bumped Maddie Cope up to 8a+.

You can now bump up Julie Pearson to the 8a+ list - she did Supercool at the weekend.

[AlistairB]

Updates: added Molly Thompson-Smith, Sophia Whyte, Mhairi Thorburn. Bumped Maddie Cope up to 8a+.

You can now bump up Julie Pearson to the 8a+ list - she did Supercool at the weekend.

In pretty crappy conditions too! 

[Tommy]

Lisa Alhadeff did Aberration a few days ago 

nice one to Lisa, glad to see the big leg break didn't hold you back

And then just recently cranked out Supercool 8a+ as well. Proper good effort from Lisa, who suffered a horrendous injury not that long ago. Just goes to show that if you take the right attitude to big set backs there's still more in the tank.

[Wood FT]

That's great, what a route to have as your first of the grade!

A new addition to the list, Laura Smitton - Oujiboard, 8a Cheedale Cornice

[SimonB]

Wendy Coles has climbed Euro Fighter 8b in shipwreck cove!
