The Bearded Dwarf has flashed and onsighted E8, redpointed F8a and bouldered 8A. Interestingly, he's also done FAs of F8a, 8A and E8. Dick.
If you can climb Font 8A, French 8a should be a first go redpoint, so pretty irrelevant.
45 Definites (but feel free to check that you agree), getting closer to 50The Definites:Dave Birkett (E8 onsight)James Pearson (E8 onsight, Font/sport 8 flash)Ryan Pasquil (E8 flashes)Jordan BuysIan VickersGaz ParryKevin ThawLeo HouldingSte DunningSte MacJack GeldardDave MacMalc SmithJohn DunneStevie Hastonpete robinsJerry Moffatt (assuming his finish to Renegade Master makes it E8)Sam WhittakerNeil Carson (I assume he's done Font 8A but don't know)John WelfordMark KatzBen BransbyNick Dixon (Assuming Nesscliffe prob is Font 8A?)Tom BriggsRobin BarkerAndy EarlAli KennedySi MooreJohn GaskinsJohn CookeStuart CameronNeil DicksonNeil BentleyJames MacHaffieRich Simpson (onsighted E9 possibly??)Keith BradburyLiam HalseyBen HeasonPete HurleySean MylesMiles GibsonNeil DyerAlan CassidyDan BradleyTim Rankin (but another Font 8A would be nice)The Not Sures:Cubby (Font 8A?)Dan Varian (What E8?

Has he done E8?)Ricky Bell (Font 8A?)Rupert Davies (E8?)Adrian Berry (Font 8A? Start of Blind Vision is, I think, 7C+)Dave Barrans (E8?)Seb Grieve (fairly sure he hasn't done Font 8A)Ben Moon (E8?)John Redhead (fairly sure he hasn't done Font 8A)Simon Nadin (E8?)Chris Cubbit (Font 8A?)Jamie Cassidy (E8?)Gordon Lennox (Font 8A?))Ali Coull (I no nothing about this chap)Pete Oxley (Font 8A?)Mark Edwards (Font 8A?)Andi Turner (E8? Probably not?)Justin Crtchlow (Sport 8a?)Pete Whittaker"The whole thread is here:http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?t=382489However if you start insisting on the E8 been onsight the numbers plummet to Pearson, Birkett, Pasquil (I'll allow him the flashes) and errr.. well me. Unless anyone can add others?And as far as I know Pearson is the only one to have flashed/onsighted all of three. I guess that's the next target...

good effort what was the route 8a in the lakes?? I live in the lakes and there's not may 8a routes to go at.

Nik could go for 5* 8 but his knees are too little to get him to the top of a big hill.
