The great keen roof debate

After reading through the keen roof debate I thought what better way to resolve it than poll the collective UKB mind and answer it once and for all.

Is there a way to set this? I wasn't aware of it. Also just realised I forgot the most appropriate option of 8A+/8B

can we have an option for "8B but only if you're less than 173 cm tall and not a local"? Asking for a friend.

I should have done Keen Roof years ago and it would have quickly been consolidated at 8A+ in no time given my previous 8B's  :worms: :worms: :popcorn:

Alphane downgrade due any day soon...

The real question is: will Alphane become the Keen Roof of 9A?

The alphane downgrade can occur as a direct result of the keen roof downgrade. If we link all boulders by "__ is the __ of __" then we can just grade one and the rest fall into place  8)

Could’ve been one for ‘benchmarks for the elderly’ but disappointingly Dave is a lot younger than he looks.
