I browsed the Scottish Sport Climbs book last night, and Dave Redpath has the FA of an 8b+ from 2012. Can't remember where, though, Dumbuck or Dumby or something. Maybe Adam L knows. Will look again tonight.
Sam Hamer – good genetics?Ben Freeman – snap, more than capable?Ned Feehally, Mecca, Tor (when?)
Dave Redpath did Devestation Generation in 2010. Think it gets 8c.
I thought dave redpath had done devastation generation at dumbuck which is 8c?
5 year cut-off for the list isn't it?

To be consistent you'd best go through the other 80 or so ascents and add the month, day and time of ascent, link to the source so that everyone else can verify it as valid and update the list hourly so you can keep the list pure and true to the completely arbitrary five year cut-off.
You could even code that, like some sort of scorecard system? "9a.nu" has a nice ring to it.
Can I add - Dan Kyte, Mecca (without the knee bar), Tor. Thanks
Gordon Lennox has climbed 8b+ (Unjustified) and also 8c according to Alan Cassidy
