Difficult but as the vid shows, very basic climbing - you won't fry a hemisphere working the sequence. 


Thought it was a shame Shamra didn't get it on the vid; so many people shouting up beta, how can you perform when people are so rude?

Sweet, looks like a great problem.  Isn't the Sharma footage on Dosage 4?

rumour has it Tony Lamiche has flashed one.

I googled this a while back, because Mick Ryan was talking about it on UKC. He may have flashed other problems that I didn't find out about, but as far as I could see, Tony is one of many who have flashed problems that were subsequently downgraded:

Tony Lamiche flashed Leopard Cave at Rocklands, and Mandala at the Buttermilks. Both are now considered 8a+.

James Pearson flashed Secret Splendour at RMNP, now 8a+.

James Litz flashed Forced Entry at the Grampians in Oz, now 8a+.

Fred Nicole flashed Massive Attack in Magic Woods, now 8a/8a+



...Not that an 8a+ flash is anything to be ashamed of!

I think James has flashed 3 8b's, 2 of which have been since downgraded. Shark hunt is still 8b as far as I'm aware although Graham seems to think its soft although everyone on 8a.nu has taken the grade.
He also onsighted an 8a+ this year

Officialy, I flashed 4 problems originaly graded 8b, one of which (secret splendour)has since been downgraded to 8a+ (consensus).  Unofficialy, I have no Idea... Or should that be the other way round :shrug:

That's what it looks like to the casual numerate observer.  How many more's he got to do to confirm the feat done on Shark Hunt?

Who was it who, on officially struggling to win a boxing match when all points decisions were going against him or were split, despite him kicking serious arse, said:

"Wadda I got to do to win, kill the kid?"

"i can't believe someone from matlock etc..".

Killer sentence, this.  Imagine them even hearing or reading of Matlock.
