I've had a bit of an ongoing discussion on UKC with someone who calls himself '8A' and claims to route harder than F8c. Anyone know who this mysterious person is, or is he having a good old wind up?

[Falling Down]

The latter... the thread gives his identity away.

HIs post give the game away a bit don't they  He has come across as a bit of a sullbhitter with his claims of 'the second best sports climber on these forums'.

[Stubbs]

Interesting to see the people that back him up though - do they check out? 'RichD' and 'Tim Johnson' are both older and experienced climbers from their profiles, or are they just stoking the fire?

This loon? http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php?action=profile;u=1129

Was appreciating the beatdown you guys were giving - much needed. Apparently in his 30s - my arse. BTW his chum Sit Start registered at almost exactly the same time on the same day (school lunch break maybe?)

Look at all the little detectives!

[SA Chris]

Little, because they weigh less than you, collectively?

With a few exceptions.

Andy, you have mail

Tim Johnson is a troll started by me and Oli to wind annoying sods up... Give them a taste of their own medicine, confuse them, and expose them.

[andy_e]

SitStart and 8A are the same person. 8A was started by a different guy but then stolen by SitStart. Both guys involved are young, armchair climber-types.

Is it just me or is this shit about opening new accounts to wind people up just the crown of wankerdom for certain individuals... just more nameless crap. To me all this is doing is increasing the amount of BS in a rather small pool of people/knowledge.

Is this the down graded version for the US

Those annoying sods sure need exposing.

I can assure you that 8A is a real and genuine person. But like many posts under a psuedonym.

Surely everybody posting is a real person unless their Hal.

[Sloper]

Wow the great Mickfax has spoken ,end of argument.

[grimer]

You mean 8A isn't his real name?

He's just like you Webbo: real, posts under a psuedonym, likes to hide his identity from the general mass, genuine, handsome, positive, constructive, likes to have a bit of a laugh, and is the sexual fantasy of many girls....including Sloper's wife.

[Sloper]

I know your reputation for getting involved with other people's wifes (or was it your wife that went over the side), but even so, grow up you sad little man

[Mick Ryan]

Did you lose it there Slopes?

[Paz]

He emailed me a while ago saying he was worried about internet weirdos stealing his identity so started a new account. 8A?  he wishes!
I think he's just having a bit of amusement in the middle of his exams and needs to develop his climbing humour.  Now where's the don't feed the trolls smiley?

[Houdini]

I scrubbed out the little winnet that fell from my chops further up this page as I felt it was abnormally unconstructive, even for me 

Phew - this soup-kitchen's way hot!  By-the-by, where's the "Meow" smiley, huh?
