Dave MacLeod has done it again:

How can this be the hardest problem in Scotland? I know of at least half a dozen 8b+ and 8c problems on Skye and Lewis  :twisted:

[Fingers of a Martyr]

And hasn't MacLeod himself, tried and failed on at least one of them?

Depends on your definition of failure; is it a problem he failed on or a figment of the imagination.

Macleod is the scotwad.

Isn't there another?

Good for Dave or Mr Dumbarton as he shall now be known. Nice looking problem too with all the rubbish in the back of the cave  :wink:  Okay it looks ugly like most of Dumby but hey I'm sure the climbing's still good, the description in the new routes sounds exciting enough...

good effort to dave on sending the project.  The holds on the roof are laughable.

Don't think his achievement should be overshadowed by more si bashing though.

I agree. But, sadly, his achievements, and those of other talented boulderers, are inevitably diluted by certain bogus or inflated claims.

Er, no they're not. People do what they do...- or not, as the case may be...

i agree with tc. good effort from a very strong, talented individual

[tc]

I also agree with me.

[a dense loner]

then we're in agreement

[dobbin]

I agreed so much I stole it and stuck it on 8a.nu

[Little Paul]

You shouldn't put a good climber down were all the same (just that some are a bit better)  :D

[dobbin]

Have I missed something?

[Moo]

except we're not all the same are we some are rich some poor some good looking some ugly a few are honest some are thieves strangely enough I keep falling into the letter categories

ps really awesome effort for Dave doesn't matter how it looks it's how it is to climb.

Nice to see there's no power endurance needed for this one
