Interestingly, free 4 all, if it's the Clifford problem left of Jack's Broken Heart, is actually graded 7C+. He seemed to think it was originally graded 8A+. I propose this as a factual correction, nothing else.

Really? I thought that Clifford gave it 7c+, but most people had taken 8a since then. Looking on 8a.nu, Robinson reckons 'moderate' 8a
