Liam Halsey
I wondered about Liam. Agincourt? Or something else?
-
It's at Ceuse on Biographie Wall right next to Realisation - can't remember the name...
-
Preety sure when in Hueco he mentioned doing either Chronique or Le Cadre (or maybe both!) at Ceuse.

Mostly I'm picking names out of thin air, except that last one.
-
not Gresham (unless he has done one in last 3 years) as remember conversation with him about which one he would choose.
Cheers
Tim
-
Pearson did Love 2.1 at Zillertal which is 8c+ so he's in, not a clue about the others I'm afraid.
-
Bransby?
-
So with peoples suggestions, i have updated. Some were ones i already had others i knew hadn't. Not sure about Dyer and Bransby.
So 43

Checked the guide, Halsey has done Chronique
-
Not sure about Dyer and Bransby.
Pretty certain Neil did Hulk at Rodellar, which I think is 8c.
-
El Mocho's done that short n' sharp one at The Tor. Belayed by his mum, of course.
-
Rich Heap
Robin Barker?
Mark Leach
-
I'm sure Robin did Make it Funky. I remember belaying him on it one time. I was very impressed with his warm up, which consisted of yarding up the draws in his pumps and then having a go.
-
did do hulk, but its regarded 8b+ i think.
-
Punter....

He did.
-
Mark Leach did Make it Funky
-
I counted 20 for 8c+ allowing for a few contentious upgrades
-
Hulk is indeed 8b+ in the new guides for Rodellar I'm afraid
-
Think Mike Adams once accidentally climbed Hooligan past the boulder problem though obviously had no rope to clip the chain :lol:
-

Time to pull yer finger out Dyer!

Theres still a 8b or so after the start

He did.
He;'s showing worrying signs of starting to get his shit together again this year :o

Gutted. 8c in you though, just pull finger.
-

He accidentally onsight soloed the 40ft 8b wall above the boulder problem start?
-
I just heard an account that he might as well have finished off the route from an onlooker and of course am speaking second hand here. What do I know about the route - nada. Though from the insanity of soloing a sky high dyno in the past without consideration of failure or a means of descent, your statement might not be such an insane proposition! As we all know though, the Haston dyno is 6b+ unless you take the hold as a mono nick ;)
-
Mike's a beast but I doubt he would onsight solo the minging holds on the top of Hooligan
-
Woah I din't see why yoo is all hating on the geez.

Ian Hollows? on the grape vine years ago?

I think this information might be quite interesting to compare year by year as from by brief glance at the names, many of these were 'back in the day' and only a few are 'right here right now'?

He's known by many names. :bow:
The Dúnadan, Estel, Strider and Aragorn. and Zippy.
-
Is Cry Freedom getting an upgrade in the new guide? - if so Drew makes the cut.

Don't think so.

Mr Hickish has added himself to the list. We were chatting in the pub last week and were guessing how many of the 50 have done more than 1 and how many have done one at home and abroad? And how many of the ascents were in the last 5-10 years. I bloody love stats. :smartass:
-
rich heap - make it funky
-
That's significant
-
How many people if you take off Unjustified? Alan's retrospective view here:
http://alancassidyclimbing.blogspot.com/2011/06/what-is-yorkshire-part-1.html (http://alancassidyclimbing.blogspot.com/2011/06/what-is-yorkshire-part-1.html)
-
Sean Myles?
-
Alan, I think you might be even more nerdy than me! But numbers and stats are COOL 8)
Those from the list who've only done one (AFAIK, I've question marked ones I don't know, mainly the older ones on the list). I've marked the ones who've only got unjustified with a U for you Doyle.
Barker?
Me
Fatty Hickish
Baxter
Bransby?
(Buys if Unjustified goes down)
Davies
Halsey?
Heap?
Jeewooth (U)
Leach?
Marks (U)
Mitchell?
Napier (U)
Palmer
Redpath?
Reeve (U)
Richard?
Sutton?
Walker (U)
Whittaker (U)
Zippy?
So allowing for the few of the ?s to have done more than one it's ~30 left on the '2 or more' list
-
Didn't Mitchell do the F.A. of Unjustified and True North? That's more than one I think...

So its not just me who is a bit of a geek then ;D
-
rich heap - make it funky
Already on the list.
-
Someone should sort out some graphs and pie charts and stuff.
-
Now you're talking Simes
-
Someone should sort out some graphs and pie charts and stuff.
If you plotted them as a cumulative from when the first 8c was climbed then you would get a nice indication of whether there has been the same number if people coming through each year to climb 8c or if there had been an increase/spurts etc.. You'd need to know when someone first climbed 8c though...
-
Make it Funky is almost as popular as Unjustified for the single 8c tick.
Which is the most popular uk 8c of all though?
-
Matt Pickles added to the list now.
-
I wonder how many people in France have climbed at a similar grade?
-
Bet there are 100's of French climbers who have climbed 8c in France, but not so many have climbed 8c in France and in the UK!!!! Same goes for all those Spainish beasts too.
Visitors to climb 8c
Ondra (lots)
Ellie Chevieux (Make it Funky?)
Any others?
-
Better still convert it to an incidence rate of number of climbers who have climbed 8c per 1000 climbers or even per 100000 of the general population, because trying to compare raw numbers is meaningless if you don't account for the differences in population size (although France and the UK have roughly similar population sizes, Spain is a few tens of millions behind) and the proportion of the populace in each country that climb will vary. :geek:

Anyone fancy a pint?
