I've taken The Animal Within (i.e. the nesscliffe link up) off the list. If anyone spots any other there-and-back style stuff that shouldnt be on there just let me know.

[MischaHY]

I bet Dai and Klem would be horrified to find WoL compared to a there and back problem

Penny for Carlisle Slappers thoughts on the subject ....

If we can have there an back grades - why not up and Down grades?

Lots of potential there

[Doylo]

They do there and back in Font don’t they. Didn’t the G do Miroir de Vanites there and back at 8b+ 

[36chambers]

It sounds like the UKB aesthetic opinion is suitably unanimous, I'll remove there-and-backs from consideration from the boulder problem list.

but I'm so close to my classic 8B DWR link, To Hell and Back.

Is there any way that you could move the problem to the Peak? Seems to help 

[Stu Littlefair]

If we are not allowing there-and-back what about round-and-round?

Still waiting for someone to repeat the full virgin traverse.... 

[dunnyg]

If you do laps of it do you go up a grade per lap? How many laps is too many? Are you allowed refreshment stashes on the slabby side?

Reckon that sums up my views on UK bouldering

I was 40 moves in, and a meter from the finish, when I realised I wasn't a sport climber. Sorry Stu.

[tomtom]

Are there more or less than 40 moves on the Austrian Oak? (Asking for a friend)...

depends if clipping the third bolt counts as a move

My next project is working on a ~log model so climbers the world over can accurately calculate exactly what grade they get for completing 32.2 laps of their favourite warm up traverse.

[Orrincoley]

I think another good list would be hardest UK Climbs.
8B+ Boulders and up, no link ups or traverses.
8c+ (9a?) Routes

[monkey boy]

Surely the dream list is link-ups only!

[Fiend]

It sounds like the UKB aesthetic opinion is suitably unanimous, I'll remove there-and-backs from consideration from the boulder problem list.

Good call, I agree for the reasons the others have given. I presume this precludes up-and-downs too...



Edit: Sorry, didn't read every single reply fully since remus posted that.

Sillier the better.

Multiple lists then!

Actual climbs list, link ups list, traverse list, traverse/ link up list, holds to do a 1 armer of and claim 8A or higher list, followed by boulder/ route link ups using new made up on the spot grades list.

[Ross Barker]

holds to do a 1 armer of and claim 8A or higher list

Doing a one-armer on either of The Ace/Joker holds might be 9A? Who has the strongest fingers in the UK?

[tomtom]

Hence the purity of Malcs One Armer https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crags/raven_tor_millers_dale-146/malcs_one_armer-333176

I expect Nibile would approve...

[andy_e]

*adds Dan's One Armer to the UKC database*

Expect?! There was a Thread where he was asking for the dimensions and he was hoping someone could send him over a plaster cast 😂
