This thread does not resonate with me personally, because it makes me realise what a shit punter I am.

Another of Mark's lines is 'Nuts are not the only Fruit 8b+' from 1991, possibly now debolted? Mark was in touch with 8a.nu earlier this year: https://www.8a.nu/forum/editorial/8b+-in-1991-possibly-8c+-9a-2018He was of the opinion that Nuts would warrant 8c+/9a in today's money, citing grade inflation as the reason. Even if this is wrong, it seems likely that this may have been one of the earlier 8c's in the world. I reckon 'Nuts are not the only Fruit 8b+' should go in at 8c with a double cross symbol to show that its unrepeated and there is a hefty question mark over the grade. What do people reckon.
but that does strike me as the sort of thing you'd do!

I am fairly certainly this looks harder than Bat Route judging by this video, looks nails!
I always think of the waddage UK level as being 8c+ and 8B. To have done both is more impressive. Think there’s about 25. And 9a and 8B+ is the cream of the crop (5/6?).
