Title: The great keen roof debate
Post by: Dexter on August 24, 2023, 11:08:19 am
After reading through the keen roof debate I thought what better way to resolve it than poll the collective UKB mind and answer it once and for all.

Why can't I vote for more than one thing?

(it's both too easy for me AND in a grotty cave, obvs)

Is there a way to set this? I wasn't aware of it. Also just realised I forgot the most appropriate option of 8A+/8B

Post by: 36chambers on August 24, 2023, 12:31:43 pm
can we have an option for "8B but only if you're less than 173 cm tall and not a local"? Asking for a friend.

Universal grade of hard 6B

Everyone knows that hard 6B is the hardest grade in the world.

I should have done Keen Roof years ago and it would have quickly been consolidated at 8A+ in no time given my previous 8B's  :worms: :worms: :popcorn:

Alphane downgrade due any day soon...

The real question is: will Alphane become the Keen Roof of 9A?
Title: Re: The great keen roof debate

No repeats this year, lets see once it gets cooler.

Post by: edshakey on September 04, 2023, 05:19:31 pm
The alphane downgrade can occur as a direct result of the keen roof downgrade. If we link all boulders by "__ is the __ of __" then we can just grade one and the rest fall into place  8)

I just don't know what to do with the news that Dave Parry has done Keen Roof now.

Could’ve been one for ‘benchmarks for the elderly’ but disappointingly Dave is a lot younger than he looks.

Yeah sorry Remus, I was just joking with regards to Bulbhaul.

My lazy friend holds the power. I actually went as far as adding "Bulb haul" to UKC as I didn't want 8B+ in my logbook. Hoping this would provoke some moderation action, but alas.
