I'll vote for 7c for BBB.
I don't think it is harder than other Orme 7c routes such as Body Torque Direct or Tomorrow People.
I actually found Martha (the 7c direct on Night Glue) harder... probably due to climbing it in a heat wave though!

I though Parasite was harder than Mussel Beach, but still at the easier end of 8a. I think it suits bouldering fitness more than the longer 8as to the right. Contrary to what the guide books says, Parasite is a very good route and it's good to see it finally getting some traffic. Until this year, I have never seen chalk on it.

'BB is hard 7c (or an easyish 7c+) and Mussel soft 8a (or a hardish 7c+), so not really two full grades difference.'

:)

Alaska grade 1 -6 works for me.

Very cool topo on Wetpaint there.

There is a massive gap between Liquid Ambar and Big Bang. Someone get on it NOW...! Bout time Wales had a 9a+...

It looks easier than big bang,the top headwall looks more featured although the middle is probably harder looking at it.i will defo bolt it sometime, but probably for someone a bit skinnier.
