Isn't hip hop assis less than 8b nowadays?

No casting doubts or slagging or anything, just seem to remember it being considered 8a somewhere.....

I thought the 8b looked easy until I reminded myself of the top half. Has anyone been on this? it looks good.

Genius.
I heard a tree once fell over in the forest but no-one was there, I wonder if it made a sound?

I witnessed the 8a+ go down back in November last year, was awesome, that gaston/ crack thing for the right hand looks well tricky to pull on. Apparently the moves into it from below on the 8b are not too bad comparitively, although ain't that always the case...

I believe that pre chipping in 2001 it was considered 8B. When did he do it?

You assume corectly.  Not sure where dave started from, There is a line all the way from the floor if I remember correctly.  Im sure our resident font expert will be able to fill us in.

I was going to email you... Dave started sitting on the edge of the boulder that sits underneath it. He started from 2 crimps and from what he explained it was 14 moves to the top. He seemed to think that was the logical start and it was the start that Pochon has been trying for years. The low right start is possible though...

Probably around that time, but I'm not sure of an exact date. Although I presume it's considered harder since the chipping thus it's at least 8b??

well, it's unrepeated since then, and from what I've seen it looks rather impossible... or certainly much harder. So, Gaskins is either in the font 8B club or a much harder club! ha ha.
