Probably some confusion arising from the thread title and the subsequent revision to 7C not reflected in the thread title! Good reporting skills Mr. Fulton.

Clocked on UKC logbooks that Ellie Bacmeister has done her first 8A - White Light at Anston

Good to see the UK Cream of the Crop gradually becoming dated.

Yep, can't say I'm familiar with the problem but she's done it. Some other updates:

Lisa Alhadeff & Frances Bensley have done Ben's Roof.
Holly Rees did Ben's Roof Extension without any kneebars, got to be worth 8A of anyone's money!

I'd edit the wiki but the permissions still seem to be locked down. There's a video of Frances climbing it:

You can add Rachel Briggs to the wimmin's Font 7C section (Welcome to Tijuana, Apremont Envers). Extra kudos for climbing it in August. No, I'm not biased 

[SA Chris]

Good effort in spite of being dragged down by the punter she hangs about with.

Backaround for the dodgy starting position?

That's the way Kristian starts it.

Good luck arguing it with him

[dave]

No intention of arguing it with anyone. It starts LH on the biggish low hold, RH on a small pinch at the same level.

No intention? Really? Why raise it then ?

If you can have your LH in the biggish low hold then matching it to start is neither here nor there

Becasue it's there.

The move up from the proper start and subsequently moving your feet across are not trivial. This problem needs a defined start because if you just go for "start with whatever you fancy" or "as high as you can reach from sitting" then it's ripe for all kinds of pisstaking, as a few youtube vids will attest to.

On an unrelated note, sweet mid/late 90's skater / Sharma climbing vid vibe in that Ben's Roof footage with the fisheye.

Someone told me about this when I was working it. Having done both, I don't think it really makes any difference personally. Also, just a thought but if people want these things to have defined starts then it needs to be written in the guide / on PB.info to that level of detail. You can't expect people to magically know.

Back on topic, forgot to add that Ella climbed Sleepy Hollow (8A+) which I reckon is a pretty big deal!

[lagerstarfish]

you're suggesting that people know the rules before they attempt a problem?

Are you suggesting that people didn't read the post where Andy Harris clarified the start position as an aside in a post about Keen Roof from 2006? Lazy bastards.

The current guide description looks to be lifted straight from the previous 2003 edition. To be fair it does say "sidepulls", which kind of rules out most of the illegal start positions you see on vids these days. Luckily there's a new edition due.

Anyway - I liked the vid and she cruised it! Jealous!

Holly rees(bean) did bens  extension no kneebars. Dunno if this already got a mention or not

[Reprobate_Rob]

Mrs Reprobate (AKA Steph Holland) continued her clean up of the Churnet's hard stuff yesterday with a ridiculously smooth repeat of Witness the Churnetness

In between injuries, over the last few months she's also done The Mentalist (7C), Mirf's Roof (7C), Burly McMirfy (7C+) and Crazy Horses (7C+).

Dual wedding/crushing wad required there! Looked like a great party I missed!

Frances Bensley did Pilgrim in parisella's cave yesterday. Strong effort. I sieged that thing relentlessly she went yesterday for the first time in months and pathed it.

Pulled in all the latest changes and added a few more that came to mind.

Mina has climbed 8B, think it was called the pursuit of happiness in SA, Tara Hayes has done Nutsa and The Hatchling, Nia Fletcher has done what seems like everything on the Bowderstone haha-including Fat Lady at 8A+ I believe. Bet there are loads more.

Ah Molly Thompson Smith did Tsunami and Dead can't dance in the hollow mountain cave.
