That’s not a new youngest is it?

Got to be close.

Done a little tidying of the list. Added Mind Control for Maddie, and bumped Shauna down to 8a for Watermark ages ago. Surely she's done something harder than that? Any ideas?

Woah, she wasn't even on the list before! (Though that says more about the list.) Straight in at #12.

Another name not on the list... Rebekah Drummond ...with two 2018 8a’s.
“Transilvania” at Margalef, Feb 2018
“Shimmy Sham” at Myopics Buttress, Dunkeld, Aug 2018

Also, Koon Morris added a second 8a to her palmares, with a send of the tough Dave Macleod 8a, “Axiom” at Tunnel Wall, Creag a’ Bhancair, Jun 2019.

Waddage, thanks for the heads up, I'll add her when I'm next at a computer. So I don't forget, Nat Fenech also did her first 8a recently.

Without wanting to sound mean, I really don't think Esprit is 8b. Maybe you can put it as a+/b if you're using slash grades and feeling friendly.. I don't think it gets plain old 8b in any of the newer topos.

That’s not mean Alex it’s perfectly reasonable. Whatever the consensus grade is seems fair and I don’t think Thea has claimed 8b (or not that I’ve seen) more that I heard she had done it and looked it up online and jumped to conclusions maybe. Whatever the grade, she should be added to the list and I think it’s a great effort.

Wouldn’t want anyone appearing on these pieces of gospel information without the grade being absolutely concrete haha. Good job era vella and bad girls club are so solid at the grade  :-*

Never mind the big grades for bad beta things I’ve done.

And I’m pretty sure ours aren’t nearly the most dodgy of things on the lists.

We saw Thea send it. Absolutely fantastic climb,  she looked rock solid on it. It had been raining all morning and she ticked it just a few hours before it seeped through. It has been unclimbable since. Immaculate timing!

Thanks for the clarification Alex, good to have a new entrant on the list whatever the grade! https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/women_routes.md

I'm completely out of touch with how this measures up in the pantheon of youth climbing performance but...

Wow! Massively impressive to me.

Just wanted to say how inspiring I find this thread, always get excited when I see a new post on it. It's helping with the psych as I try to get back to it after baby number 2...

Great to hear Battery, glad you find it so inspiring :)

I've added Jen Wood, bit of an omission as she'd done loads at 8a https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/women_routes.md

Nice one. One to add to women’s bouldering from a while back is Mia Stacey for Walk on By 7c+.

Shauna must have done harder than 8a?

Realised you asked this a while ago, but still.

Also while you're tidying, the youngest note on Emily Phillips should be taken off I think?

I think she climbed an 8b in Santa Linya but I can't find any reference to it online so maybe I made it up.
