Looks like Sam Blackwell has done a new 8C at biblins, seems to be godzilla sit into spaceship
-
Christ, congrats to Sam.
-
James Squire did an 8C called "The World Is Yours" which was Wadzilla into Spaceship. I guess this is a similar problem but from a different start which is also 8B, although based on Ukc comment its an easier 8B than Wadzilla.
Physically Sam has to be one of the top 3 strongest climbers in the Uk. Ive seen him casually do a one armer with 16kg added and his one arm max hang on the 20mm is something like +26kg.

What a beast! Well excited to see what else he does going forward!
-
This is awesome. Congrats to Sam!

Bit more info here:

Got in touch with Sam and he said he’ll post a vid up soon.

Almost a bit less info, given that the bold bit at the top is wrong :lol: Surely the easiest description would be "an alternative left hand start to The World is Yours" :shrug:
-
True, pretty amateur of UKC to describe it as Godzilla into Spaceship.
-
But it is Godzilla into Spaceship....
-
But it is Godzilla sit into Spaceship....
Spaceship is an extension to godzilla, so 'godzilla + spaceship' doesn't actually make sense.
-

It is Godzilla Sit Start into Spaceship. 8A vs 8B.

But more than that, spaceship already includes Godzilla, it's an extension to it.
Anyway the WADzilla start (ie The World is Yours) is def the better line in this cave imo.

Right but UKC had that right, they said, correctly, that it's Godzilla Sit into Spaceship, which Barrows said was wrong.

Similar to what Duma said, Godzilla Sit into Spaceship is a tad misleading as it kinda suggests 8B into 8B+.
Godzilla Sit = Sitter moves + Godzilla
Spaceship = Godzilla + extension.
World at War = Sitter moves + Godzilla + extension.
So I suppose you could call it a sitter to Spaceship and/or an extension to Godzilla Sit :smartass:

No they didn't, that piece has been edited since this discussion. When I clicked on it this morning, it definitely said godzilla into spaceship

Yeh this is exactly what I meant too.

Ah fair enough, clearly they read UKB then!
I think the grade thing is made clear in the actual article at least.
