Bloody hell, the routes only 10 metres. Makes it even more impressive.

In terms of onsights in the 8’s I’m struggling to think of many after Geraldine onsighting an 8a in Kalymnos and that was yonks ago with some confusion surrounding it. There was Emma doing Priapos Extension also at Kaymnos which I think is 8a+

Any others?

Well, Molly has 3 8a os on her logbook as well as Odysseus.

When Rhos flashed Face du Rat there was a bit of discussion about this. Think Monkey Boy said Mina had done 8a, not sure if it was flash or os though.

Karin Magog (who always seems to be forgotten here) has done a lot.

Great stuff, she's on fire.  Doesn't look like she's doing comps this year so could be lots more to come.
