Title: Eight Beeeeeeee Pluuuus bitches.
Post by: Stu Littlefair on April 19, 2006, 10:28:22 am

That's right  - Josune Bezeriatu has ONSIGHTED 8b+. She did Hyrophobia at Montsant, which if I remember rightly got 8c until Katie Brown flashed it.

8b+. Chuffing hell. That's like onsighting Mecca.  :o

I got this news from 8a.nu, who also have a training article from Steve McClure, whose opinion is invalid because he only climbs as hard as a girl. Fuck.

Didnt Ondra (can hardly be considered a "man" as he was/is 13) onsight this and downgrade it to 8b in the process?

I think he downgraded it afterwards. Would have been a little presumptious of the young whippersnapper to downgrade it "in the process"; just aping about on the holds with one hand, eating a Farley's rusk with the other, yapping "zees is piss Mum, look at meee!" Or something like that. Get your facts straight Pearson!
