markus has tried it a few times (I belive you can still see his tick Marks from space) and I believe didn't do all the moves on it.

QuoteTell us the problems and we'll add him on. That'll be 34 I guess.I think it is a variation (ramp only) of a problem called Supernova, Magic Wood. Looks like an awesome line. Dunno consensus on it but given 8b somewhere.

Looks like an awesome line. Dunno consensus on it but given 8b somewhere.Its called Nana Blanca, and its now thought to be 8a+. Its just Supernova exiting earlier.
If Schule des Lebens gets counted then surely Louis Armstrong is 8b, as confirmed by Tyler?
Timmy Fairfield tried Hubble quite briefly, i think. His opionion of it was"The holds are polished, the bolts are rusted, it leaks and it's covered in cobwebs. It's like something straight out of the fucking third world."
Over the years some visiting dignatories have tried it (Timmy Fairfield, Markus Bock, this strong Japanese guy) and basically all got shut down. markus has tried it a few times

I think possibly the Tor is not Marcus's favourite venue. There is the story of him trying Evolution, struggling and having a massive paddy and shouting "Zis is not 8c, Zis is 9a!"Re polish, I think Peak limestone polishes remarkably quickly. I heard Beluga is already suffering!!
