What better way to do it than on here.
Mawson and Mcclure think 8c
I think maybe puddlejumper down to 6c+, maybe rose coronary too?
Any of the easier things need sorting? I think maybe puddlejumper down to 6c+, maybe rose coronary too?
Baboo scrapes in at 8a Not been on so can't commentVogue is nails at 7c+ Only had a brief play, think Serps might agree. Though can we really upgrade a Lovatt route?Chocolate Logger at 7b+ Good one
Rose at 6c+Comedy and Pantomime are the same grade. 7b+.New Age is 7c+ (it's easier than Main Overhang, which feels more like 8a)Baboo scrapes in at 8aVogue is nails at 7c+Chocolate Logger at 7b+Le Lapin is worth 8a

Not done Pantomime but though Comedy was pretty standard at 7c.New Age to me was harder than BabooPerhaps this highlights how difficult it is to fiddle around with the grades on well established and popular routes. I think unless a route stands out as being blatantly under/over graded (like soft option at Kilnsey maybe) it should be left alone; otherwise why not regrade Zoolook as 8a+ and GBH as 8a

New Age Traveller; it's certainly the absolute bottom end of 8a if it is. But saying that, UK crags are pretty steely compared to anywhere else, and are we just comparing it to things like Zoolook...Zoolook should be 8a+. Main Overhang should be bottom end 8a?
Zoolook is a line in the sand - it's 8a. Upgrade that and you might as well start serving mousaka and baklava in the Old Barn Cafe.
Baboo should've been left as 7c+. I don't think Soft Option is blatantly over graded - I've only met one person who thought it was 7c+, it's pretty fair at middle of the grade 8a.GBH is bottom of the grade 8a+, but now it seems that people have started traversing into Baboo to miss out the first hard moves, so should it be downgraded?
Baboo has a Font7A+ crux section 50 feet off the deck that is significantly harder than anything on Zoolook. It is 8a.
