Second ascent of Outliers 8C.

 :bow:

I recognise the name but can't remember where it is / who put it up. Would anyone be kind enough to educate me?

Apparently it is at Trowbarrel! :-) I think Bosi has fallen foul of the spell checker.

I believe it is an Aidan Roberts problem at Trowbarrow Quarry.

I wonder why Will hasn't decided to climb an 8C+ yet. It seems like he almost certainly could at the rate he knocks out 8Cs.

Makes that look about 2 number grades easier.

Superpowers has got to be next.

Will's Careless Talk interview goes well with the video. Sounds like he really enjoyed Czech.

Best part for me was the clip of the 14 y.o. Ondra's FA of the route - bouncy moppet using seldom-seen one-finger full-crimps!

Will B pitches off the top of the thing

Adam voiceover: "An interesting thing is that back then, in 2007, I was 14 years old when I made the first ascent and I only gave it 8c+."

Interesting.

That was good fun. The crag looks a lot less like a Czech Raven Tor in that video. Cool climbing and a brilliant chain clip.

So many moves without actually moving anywhere. Also Aidan’s face is a picture.

Chatting your was through the end of an 8B+, no big deal 😄

Great isn't it. I always like stuff where climbers have to move limbs back or down or anywhere but up, to get into the finally correct position to progress up.

Bumped into Will at Kentmere a couple of weeks ago. He'd just sent Little Women and flashed Tourniquet as a warm-up.

Had an interesting chat about Shadowplay too. Reckons there's enough holds that he'd be interested to try. Described them as a similar size to Burden of dreams, only steeper and with worse footholds

Sounds like he's describing a 9A+

My dream Shadowplay scenario where someone does it and then Gaskins releases a timestamped vid proving he put it up, then benevolently forgives a sobbing, prostrate Dan Varian for his lack of faith, comes one step closer to fruition...

The Shadowplay uncut footie is currently with Gaskins' lawyers to be released only upon his demise. The final scene is him with 2 middle fingers up as it slowly fades to white.

For Will to know what the holds feel like on Burden of Dreams it means he's been playing on Aidan's replica. Looking forward to the Wedge video!
