What do people think is the best 8b in Britain? It seems to me 8a+ has the mega classics.

I feel your pain Chris, but Ding Dong is pretty unstoppable at the moment. I've put some more pics up on V12 news site, including one of you getting high on the route last year.

Last Crusade up now too - so many things to catch up on after a two week holiday! Colin Goodey has been busy too - more on that later.

not done many but heard Victor hugo(malham) is good. Tuppence(ansteys)?
fire power(anvil), snipe shadow(glen ogle) and blackout(anvil) have been touted as scotlands finest..
the new extension to stiff upper lip(orme) is super fun, and likely soft.
Huecool(gordale)?
probably a few at Malham actually.

Haven't been on it but people rate Predator at Malham as super classic.

just out of interest, i thought mission impossible was a E9? does it have fixed gear or is it just 8b climbing?
