Can't believe that we've managed to get 6 pages into the thread and leave the beast that is CJD off the list!

8b+ My Own Private Idaho (Feb 2011)

Also La Dernier Atrocity, Lou's Crucial Service and Cerulean Salt the latter two of which are unrepeated (despite some beastly attention) and may well be knocking on the 8b door...

You put cjd in the opening post fatneck. It's not our fault you put a question mark then a mth or so later started reciting all the things he's done  :P

What's Lou's Crucial Service? And I thought Cerulean was given 8A+.

Cerulaen Salt was originally given a split grade of 8A+/B and Chris said Mike Adams had a play on it and thought it hard...

Now then all.  Only brief from me - I'm enjoying being forgotten.  I thought Cerulean was 8b, but am trying to be more conservative these days.  Mike couldn't find any holds.

Dave, Lous Crucial Service is Lou Ferrino Ramp into Crucial Times, finishing up Lip Service.  It's kinda arbitrary, but does climb very well.

See you all in another few years.

Nice one on the listification, Remus.

A few corrections/suggestions:
 - I think Dandelion is considered 8B nowadays?
 - Turner, Mason and Varian have done Bewilderness, which is 8B+ by all accounts?
 - Aidan Roberts has climbed Oliphants Dawn, not Aidan Dunne.
 - I think Noble has done Mike Adam's Bordello SS, 8C
 - Varian has a host of other 8B+'s under his belt...
 - Tyler Landman has done Practice of the Wild
 - Micky Page has done The Story of Two Worlds, 8C (I think that's consensus?)
 - Toby Saxton has done the Finnish Line 8C according to his 27 crags logbook.

- Correct on the first one AFAIK.
- Noble said 8B+ for Bordello, I think Ned did too? Has also done Golden Shadow (8B/+?) and Jour de Chasse (8B/+/C??)
- IIRC Dawid has done Serenata (8C) too
- Perhaps controversial, but I don't think the list should contain #biggradesforbadbeta, so Mortal Immortal should be on at 8B, Pilgrimage at 8B.
- Belly of the Beast is not 8B+ for me so you can downgrade me to 8B, unless The Wheel counts as a boulder in which case I think it could be lower-end 8B+. I would just downgrade Belly to 8B for simplicity ;)
- Elliot Stephens has done Golden Shadow (8B/+), plus maybe more? Not sure, would need to check scorecard

You might be better off starting at 8B/+ and the routes at 8c+/9a to make things more manageable!

Nathan Phillips has presumably done something hard - he's done at least 8B

Max Milne recently did the long term project at Clashfarquar - Lord Farquar and gave it 8B+. He's still in school though, so not sure if he qualifies in "UK men" though. I'll try find the vid.

Is this a video to prove the ascent of said problem or "UK man"?

working title is "Fat Lip and Keen Roof List"

Is Keen Roof still considered 8B?

Maybe just create a completely separate ‘Barrows’ list.  :shrug:

Is this list ever, or just within the last 5 years? Gaz has done Isla de Encanta and Anaesthesia and possibly some others. Didn't know Jerry had done Voyager. 8 Ball now gets 8A+ doesn't it? Ryan's done Spectre though and probably loads others. Andy Earl is missing from your list. I'm also another Keen Roofer.
