Is Jake Mason on the list? Think he's done The Ace

He downgrade the ace to 7C - so maybe we can’t count him

Good knowledge, he's on the list. Also noticed he's done Eternal Fall so a double addition to the boulder and trad lists!

I think James and Angus said they'd give Eternal Fall E8, fwiw.

Oh cool, didn't realise they'd suggested a grade, I've bumped it down to E8 on CH per the current opinions.

Dave Parry has done Nacho's Start to Keen Roof, presumably just to make it onto the list with the original being downgraded ;)

Top effort.

Unrelated, but I wonder whether it's time to adjust the grade boundary to 8B+? Currently there's 172 people on the list and changing the boundary to 8B would mean there's 67 people on the list.

Poor Dave. His first 8B promptly gets cancelled and then his second one gets the whole grade cancelled! It'll be a sad day for bouldering when he climbs BoD and the entire sport gets relegated.

Should be 8B+ bouldering and 8c+ routes really.

Bit mean that boulderers only get 3 grades from the hardest grade climbed and chuffers get 5! I think the route grade should be put at 9a+ to match 😆

Good point, it'd be a shame to lose some big names.

Just means the brits are off the pace when it comes to routes, whereas they're leading the pack in bouldering. Just need Will to put up a 9A at the tor with an 8c finish and we'll be back at it.
