8a (+)? although Jason did it a very different and harder way without the heel involving a jump for the top.  There was a photo sequence in The Thing that someone might have to hand.

8b Jason's way i thought....

[lagerstarfish]

Remind me, what grade did Brad Pit get given when it was first climbed ?

B13

 

at least it wasn't a V grade


anyway - he's climbed something that once was seen as being very hard indeed

[b3n99]

And just to clear up some details, it was in 20 minutes having never tried it before. Doing bus stop and carnage sit both in one session seems to suggest to me that he could boulder harder! And the BBC result might have something to do with him being about 5 foot, the kid is unbelievable!

[Doylo]

I thought it was originally regarded as 8b, can't remember what b13 equated to. probably somewhere beween 6a and 8c

[fatdoc]

pic series in the original guide....

yep, it's harrrrdd.

8b not unreasonable ( despite being no way near to comment from experience)

[SA Chris]

troll, or pig ignorant....

Bit of Column A, bit of Column B I reckon.

How those grapes tasting Beastio? Bit sour?

[Bonjoy]

Its a good effort but again did he really climb it in 20 minutes or did it take 20 minutes in that particular session?
Its one of those problems which is really suited to shorter people i think, as i personally dont think he could climb any other 7c+ in the UK in 20 minutes or even in a session alot like most of the females who have climbed it, its there hardest problem to date because its so well suited.
But yeah good effort, surely 1st in the BBC`s should of been achieved by him if he can climb V10 in less than half an hour 

I make it:
5 missing apostrophes.
1 (the only) apostrophe in the wrong place.
4 missing comas.
2 superfluous* words, one of which isn’t even a word.
‘There’ instead of ‘their’.
No capitalisation when ‘I’ is used.
A missing full stop.
Worst of all the using ‘of’ instead of ‘have’, grrrrrr.


*Look it up in a dictionary geez, and look up imbecile while you're at it.

[GCW]

4 missing comas.

[Bonjoy]

Stop hating on me geez!

4 missing comas.

[GCW]

1 (the only) apostrophe in the wrong place.

On a serious note (shock), I seem to recall that for multiples of letters or numbers, there should be an apostrophe before the s.  As in 7's and 8's.  Although I may be wrong.

[rginns]

4 missing comas.

  Quality link, JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Just checked this in the Oxford Guide to Style, which disagrees:

7.1.5
Numbers are made plural without an apostrophe both as words and figures: the 1960s, temperature in the 20s, twos and threes, in the Nineties.

[GCW]

I always thought that Tom, but I'm sure I read somewhere that you do use them.  Unless it was a vivid dream induced by eating to much Wensleydale.

that's one of my favourite books, along with Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors

[GCW]

OED says you do for single letters but not for things like MPs, BBCs so Bonjoy was correct.  But 7's and 8's seems to be the correct form.


Confused?   


EDIT:  Although it says acceptable for clarity so maybe correct form is the wrong thing to say.

[Somebody's Fool]

While we're hating on the geez, if one is writing a number lower than 11 within text, it should be written out in full, e.g. four comas.

[SA Chris]

or four candles.

[GCW]

Or maybe O's? 

[butters]

It is always the way that I do it - seem to remember the reason being that it is clearer that way or something. 

[andy_e]

Stubbs- Beastio is not little hoppo, it's slightly larger hoppo.

[Falling Down]

Tom was right, B13 it is.

[Probes]

I always love seeing that sequence of photos, nowt like a one armer of a shit edge down to you knee! Nayelz.
