Chris says hi.

Hello Chris, I have been puntered. For every downvote I get I'll chip a hold on Hubble

Jokes aside I was serious in the last post and there is somebody who has bouldered many 8B's and is expected to do an 8C soon and is just keeping quiet about it.

So was the aim of your post just to brag about some inside knowledge of a repeat that is yet to happen and is not allowed to be talked about?

Best to just save it for a time when there is some actual information to discuss.

Not bragging, I have nothing to gain on here. Its was just exciting to hear and worth sharing, maybe should have waited though!

Fair enough. Even if you'd given away details though, it'd still be pretty off topic for this thread - topic splits usually happen pretty quick, posts like yours look like they could be split immediately for being off topic ;D

Hopefully your anonymous acquaintance gets the job done soon so we can hear about the actual news!

And? 8C is hardly cutting edge….

The spray tan has gone to your head.

8C is surely ‘significant’ if not cutting edge.

Unless there's other circumstances that make it significant? Maybe they're particularly old/young, maybe they have only one leg...... who knows

If ever there was an advert advocating in favour of censoring / purging of threads... this might be the prime example. Well done.

This is almost exactly how the Rich Simpson saga started. Weird behaviour tends to get a weird reception, so maybe suggest to your mate he builds up some concrete evidence along the way or the big reveal might not get the adulation he expects.

I dont think he gives a shit

And also there was no need to split the topic, should have been left.

If he doesn't give a shit why would he ever 'come out with it once they climb 8c'?

There was no need to post cliquey bollocks in the first place! Nobody cares if your mate is strong, but once you've started a conversation people will likely engage, which drags it off topic given you had no details and the significant repeat hasn't actually happened yet...

I wouldn't have given a shit anyway but now I definitely don't.

This.

Indeed. This is one of the worst and most pointless threads I've come across in a while and I frequent Reddit - so that's saying something!

I think you are all being a little harsh on CapitalistPunter. I think he's just psyched for his friend. Yes, the post is little pointless and frustrating, but just ignore it. No need for everyone to jump in. UKB already has a reputation for grumpy posters, and so getting stuck into relatively new posters is hardly helping.

Good topic split. The nudge-nudge wink-wink l'm-in-the-know non-news hint-wanking nonsense can find it's true place along side Bring Out Your Dabs and Tickmark Hall Of Shame  :chair: :2thumbsup:

A certain designer maybe who used to be with a big player company might have a sick toy soldier line to drop soon, once he's got the character models wrapped up.... :wank:

Fiend - regarding the 'sick toy soldiers' - will you be getting involved in the painting of said soldiers? ;)

I spoke to someone at a beer festival on Friday who might have been going to belay someone really strong on something really hard in the Lakes at the weekend!

this is turning into a PR disaster.

If the wad would like to maximise consumer engagement then spamming insta with #myJourneyTo8C 4 times a day starting from whenever they are older enough to have an account is still the tried and tested most successful way to do it. Even better if they are struggling with 6Bs at the beginning. It's all about #theJourney and #IveJustDoneAn8CButGradesArentImportantToMe

If he would like to maximise dark horse points, a valiant pursuit if I do say so, then obviously the coolest thing to do would be to do an 8C and tell literally no one. That's what I do, or don't do, it's all a mystery really...

Absolute novice. You mentioned the region involved. Ruined all the excitement and build up for me.

Will that be one of those really hard Lakes ascents that's a ground-up onsight attempt (* after previously aiding the route then down-stripping it)??

To maximise number of followers our incipient hero must be a) good looking or b) climb really hard (most preferably both). However, to maximise engagement they must c) write words and d) be nice.

Ok if there was a message I’m sure it’s either been received or ignored by now.

Log pile or this will turn into a thread about how shit this thread is.

It's actually me. But I'm not going to tell you what any of things I've done are, or provide any evidence, until I've climbed 8C.
(Which could be a while because I'm actually an overweight, under-trained, 40-something year old father of two without the time or energy to put into climbing 7C right now, let alone 8C)

For reference I wasnt the one that split the topic and it was not intended to be a brag that I know about something secret. I was excited to share what I heard my friend had done, although as I said beforehand in an earlier post before I obviously should have waited.

Hopefully when it all comes out there will be something interesting to talk about. Maybe the days of the G are coming back, maybe not.

Just FYI, someone very good has done something very hard that might have a very big number attached to it.
