Sorles link is at least V8+ and harder again if you are short, I found a mathematical equation for link ups that goes like this V7+V8=15 add 4 then divide by 2 which gives a V9/10 grade, Iv`e tried this equation with loads of other link ups and It`s pretty accurate to within half a grade. So there you go maths say`s V9/10 and maths don`t lie
Although I did so it was accurate to within half a grade so that`s ok then

Ok it wont work with grades under V6 I think.
The lowest V-grade of the two must be a maximum of 2 under the higher V-grade for the total to be increased. eg:V12 + V11 = V13/14V12 + V10 = V13V12 + V9 = V12
eg V6 + V7 + V8-> [6+7+8+(2x3)]/3= 27/3 = V9 or are we going a bit silly here?

Links of more than 2 problems- although I suppose you could add 2x number of linked problems divided by number of linked problems:eg V6 + V7 + V8-> [6+7+8+(2x3)]/3= 27/3 = V9or are we going a bit silly here?Where there`s more than two problems work out the value for the first two then do the same for the third. V11+V9+4=24/2=V12 say Pilgrim then that into Clyde is V12+V11+4=27/2=V13.5 or perhaps V14

Left wall high is a soft V9, about 8a/+ routes grade. Still easier than this latest linkup in my opinion. I've always viewed staminaband as v8+ to get to powerband and then a V9 (Powerband).
I don't believe people like John Welford who said SB is the living end and that he's only ever managed to do the start 4 times!!
yeah i don't buy that either, its not that hard. The hard thing about Staminaband is that friggin pocket drop down right at the end!
No, keep at it. Could be on the verge of a major break through to put an end to all arguments. And at last an advantage to V grades has been found!
I always found the hard bit on the link on Staminaband was the move in the middle of Powerband holding the resin edge and reaching down to the pocket. Never fell off if I got past that. Think that's because it was the endurance crux for me and there's a rest before the last move. I've never been fit.
Yeah I'm talking 15 years ago. Have only been back once since and I wasn't strong enough to even notice the footholds had changed. When did that happen then and how?
