Excellent knowledge, I'd assumed they were Irish for some reason. https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/men_boulders.md

What's the thinking on Big Paw these days? Eliot Stephens has just done it and taken 8B+/C whereas Micky P has it on the list at 8B+.

All slash grades everywhere should be given the lower grades.

Does that mean Colt (7A+/7C) is getting downgraded

Think it's been considered 8B+ for a while now.

Thanks, 8B+ it is. I've also purged a few slash grades: Singularity has gone from 8B+/C to 8C and King of Limbs has gone from 8B/+ to 8B.

Good knowledge, thanks https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/men_boulders.md

Chris Davies has gone down to 8B with the change, unless anyone knows of any 8B+s he's done?

My own private idaho is still on ukc as 8B+, I think ned said 8B but tbh the vid of his ascent looked to be pushing the definition of crouch start.

... from armchair.

Done a bit of swatting up and it sounds like the original start was kind of funky (a bit of big grades for bad beta). I've put Chris down at 8B for the moment, unless someone wants to make a strong argument for 8B+.

Don't think Rory Fowler has been added for Wadzilla back at the end of September?

Nothing major but a few extra problems added in for some people, largely based on ascents from significant repeats https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/men_boulders.md

It doesn't really make sense for me to be on at 8B+ for Belly of the Beast. If I'm on at B+ it should be for The Wheel, or if that's a route then bump me down to 8B...

Alex Waterhouse gets 8B for the Kraken but the guy who did the FA doesn't make the list?

Excellent spot! Consider Randall listed https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/men_boulders.md

I'm generally trying to stick to consensus grades for stuff to avoid confusion and as far as Im aware most people take 8B+. If there is consensus at 8B happy to downgrade it but it has to be actual consensus, not just you saying it's easy cause you can milk the knee bars  :lol:
