The deed is done with the loss of 11 brave souls from the list.

I am now calling for a full public enquiry to determine why this took so long. We must never let this happen again.

You can expect my resignation letter on your desk by the morning Prime Downgrading Minister.

Worth having the Dirty Eleven listed?? Or maybe a separate topic so people can offer their condolences?? "UK Men Who Haven't Bouldered >=8B Recently (Or At All)"....

Not a bad point actually, I've already had one soul saved by doing Nacho's start. Any other ascents at 8B or above for these fellas?

Not sure about the others but I think Leon has done the ace? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sadly not I've swung off the jug over 30 times now. Off to the tor tomorrow if any of the 11 want to get on nachos.

Andy Jackson has done Bulbhaul, although that might also be down to 8A+ now?

I think this might be a facetious comment, bulbhaul is not 8b with the current beta

Yeah sorry Remus, I was just joking with regards to Bulbhaul.

My lazy friend holds the power. I actually went as far as adding "Bulb haul" to UKC as I didn't want 8B+ in my logbook. Hoping this would provoke some moderation action, but alas.
