If his ears were slightly pointier he'd look like a Lothlorien elve.

Any word on Northern Lights?

Second for getting him on VNB.

Would be interesting to see someone that good, repeat an unrepeated Gaskins monstrosity.

Unfortunately, with such limited time there is little sense wasting it on something that isn't fashionable are highly regarded...

"8c+, 9a+ or 8b+. Who cares?! It's the name that counts! And the name is HUBBLE! It's a piece of history! Thanks Ben Moon for putting up that thing and for having a vision! A vision for what is possible, the next step!"

I care. (a little bit.) I'm always slightly disappointed when professional climbers repeat hard things (with debatable grades) and refuse to comment. What are we actually paying him for??

[masonwoods101]

  whats the grade!!

Any news from Kilnsey?

Any news from Kilnsey?

Steve Lewis aka Steve the Pro aka STP and a longstanding buddy of Ben Moon commented on UKC:

Weather was shite up there - very strong winds and cold so no success stories from Kilnsey today though there were a few valiant attempts.

I would also like to know, even if it's just a personal little musing of what he thought. Wasn't Hubble the worlds first 8c+? I assume people then must have climbed it for the grade? I thought it got touted to be 9a after a visiting wad failed and the grade speculation and Ben Moon myth grew from there. It's probably better for no one to comment on the grade ever again, keeping the aura alive.

8b+. Is he on crack?

as having been done

I was waiting for that.

[Duma]

8b+. Is he on crack?

I assumed he meant 8B+

[petejh]

What are we actually paying him for??

To climb noteworthy climbs whilst marketing certain brands in the process. #Drink Red Bull (28 grams of sugar per small can)

[Murph]

Great news.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this makes Megos the first person to do both Hubble and Action....or at least the first actual properly confirmed time this has happened..?

[lagerstarfish]

8b+. Is he on crack?

I assumed he meant 8B+

yeah, that's what I thought - I guess his accent makes it difficult to hear whether he's speaking in caps or not

In an Australian-style points immigration system, how many points does "coming over here, refusing to grade our hard routes" score you? Minus figures or what?

So Barrows is being deported then?
