It's mainly a practicality thing. It makes the list easier if inclusion criteria are well defined and limiting it to sport routes only is one way of doing that.

Fair enough! I guess it can be a bit uncertain when people say route x would probably be around sport grade y if it was on bolts.

Thanks for the updates, always good to see some new additions https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/men_routes.md

Im happy keeping the 8c cut off for the mo, the main point of the it is to keep the list to a size where it's easy to manage and it seems to be doing that.

Too many people getting up Bat Route for my liking. Time for a downgrade

I've scrubbed Violent New Breed from the list based on Dan Varian's comments here https://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,30349.50/topicseen.html

I've moved him down to 9a for hubble https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/men_routes.md

A sad day indeed.

Good ticks there, I remember Malcolm gave us some onions when he had to leave siurana having failed to do the first ascent of A Muerte.
I was so impressed to have his onions for tea. I climbed one of my first 8as the next day....

Who is this ledge?

[webbo]

He seems to have climbing at Stanage, Curbar and Stoney during lockdown.

[Mike Highbury]

He moves quite poorly for an 8c climber but what do I know?

[Ru]

If someone is going to claim ascents in separate logbooks on ukc and the crag, the least they could do is make them match up. Even if they just contained the same routes.

[remus]

Feel like Im missing a bit of UKB history here, but it sounds like he's not actually a contender for the list? (to put it politely)

As soon as i saw the impressive tick lick and stuff around the time i did harder routes and never heard of him. I thought bull shit.
The few photos dont appear to show someone with the ability to climb the routes ticked.
