My mate did what we thought was a new sit start to breadcrumb trail but it had already been done a couple of weeks earlier apparently. Quality problem.
These two look good:

I didn't put a rope on, so had to work out all the moves from the ground but I don't think the sharpness is really much of an issue, certainly no worse than a standard moor problem. All in all, probably one of the best climbs I've ever done and possibly (!!) the best problem in the South West
Aye. I was there to witness said ascent. It was actually over a month ago. I repeat my comment above but with adjusted grade. If this is V8 I'm hanging up my boots now! V grades are fucking bollocks anyway. Looked incredibly heel and reach dependent to me but also looked a bloody good problem.
looks on UKC like Hamish has done (the 3rd?) ascent of Super Dooper Trooper 8A at Saddle tor.

He also intimated that Devon Sent is easier than 7c+!! Grades must be hard in Sweden.Looks like a lot of the unclimbed lines in the woods may go in the next 12 months..
