Just seen on Planet Fear that Mike Weeks is sorting some elite outdoor comp with best eight men and women from around the world. I pressume this is a routes orientated comp, but it would be nice to have a bouldering version.

Lets have your lists then   :D  ...

I think its an all round comp. Where all the competitors enter all disciplines... Leading/Sport etc etc

I might be wrong, but think i remember reading that somewhere

Bearing in mind that most modern climbing comps are orientated around onsighting wouldn't it be nice to have a pure difficulty bouldering comp.

For example the 10 strongest climbers in the world (judged by what they have climbed outdoors) have five really basic problems which are all in the region of V15 and a week to do as many as possible.

No that would be interesting  :D

Misread the post, and incorrectly named the top 8 UK.    :oops:
