Hi all

For some reason I've decided that I'd like to phtograph all of the 8c's and above in the UK. Obviously inspired by the who's climbed 8c and above thread. Now I know this will talke forever but it gives me something to do for the next ?? years.

Anway the list I've compiled so far is below and if there's any I've missed then please let me know.

All the best
David

[JC]

[Serpico]

No its not a route

It's a route from one end of the crag to the other...

[nai]

And it wouldn't exactly be difficult to photograph so it may as well be included 

[Three Nine]

Also, Brian is considered by all right thinking people to be 8c+ (which is reflected in the latest rockfax)

Isn't Overshadow confirmed 9a+ and Northern Star 9a/+ (from AO's repeats).

[slackline]

Isn't Overshadow confirmed 9a+ and Northern Star 9a/+ (from AO's repeats).

Either way they're both > 8c so it doesn't really matter.

The Death Star, innit?

[Three Nine]

that's it. bet it makes a balls photo. Savage is hoping to go up BGT again to get some vid footage, this might be your best bet of getting photos as people aren't really lining up to try it!

[SA Chris]

Did he come up with the name for BGT?

[Three Nine]

Yes, it alludes to the statement in the CC Avon and Cheddar guide that the project which became BGT was 'too hard for Bristol climbers'. Personally I think its a shit name, but there you go.

[SA Chris]

Cheers. FWIW I agree with you.

[douglas]

I'd be surprised if that's true, considering it was bolted for Chris to try. I expect it has more to do with the rebolting efforts by locals around the time of the ascent.

[David S]

Thanks on the heads up about BGT. Can anyone PM Chris' contact details so I can talk to him about it.

Cheers

David
