Hey - if you ticked it before it was downgraded - take the V8

The only scary part is that there's only one wave, so if you miss it or fall off, you're sport of screwed. I rode on my belly for about a 1/2 mile just to get a feel for the wave, then my knees for another milish, then finally stood up later. I wish I'd have stood up sooner, I was fine on it, and would have been standing on a much better part of the wave.
Jack - Good on you for wanting a solid tick, but the real trick is what you can consistantly climb I've got a friend who won't say he's a v6 climber until he's done ALL of the local v6's, but he's done a few v10's... Also, don't knock the grades too much. You're pretty strong on big moves, and it sounds like you've been dropping weight. It can be surprising how much of a difference a few pounds can make.

I'm genuinely surprised at that, results look good.And kudos for the grade approach.
am now putt-putting around on my 125
3rd RP managed to hold it together and with some shouting made it to the chains. Well psyched! Partner got the 2nd ascent and reckoned soft 7b+. Hardest route I've done for sure, happy days!
