James Garden did the thing Stu did a week or so ago. Done other 8Bs too. Mega strong, content with what he does but could climb a fair bit harder if he wanted too imo.  :weakbench:  :weakbench:  :weakbench:

Waddage Stu! Strong work. And to James too of course.

Question for the knowledgeable: What's the thinking on golden shadow these days? Euan McFayden is down at 8B/+ for it and Elliot Stephens was down at 8B+ for it (Elliot has also done New Base Line so to keep things consistent I've taken GS off for him).

Golden Shadow is 8B in the new guide. And Eliot is 'L'  ;)

Pete Wilkinson (Peewee of this parish) did Diluvian at Kilnsey today. It might be a dirty drop-off under a world class sport crag,but it's 8B. Get the featherweight fucker on the list.

Added a few extra ascents for people and a few notes based on chatter in significant repeats https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/men_boulders.md

Is there a concensus on practice of the wild? The 'Brits who have climbed 8C' counter is going to take a dive if it's down to 8B+!

Most people who do Practise now say it's 8B+. I remember Ty saying he thought it could be 8B+ when he made the second ascent.

I don't see Matt Birch on the list.
(The Swarm, Mandala and probably several more...)

Ah..."recently" - my mistake.

Don't think that applies anymore tbh - several on there which definitely aren't recent. Quite surprised he's not already on there.

I'll get Matt on the list and bump Billy up when I'm next at the computer.

As Bradders said, the 'recent' part is no more as it makes the list a pain to maintain.

Ridal joins the 8B+ club and Birch joins the list after a long absence https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/men_boulders.md

Missing a Northern Irish contingent I think!
Ricky Bell did the first ascent of Gentlemen's Arete 8B at Fairhead
Rob Hunter on Intergalactic 8B at Glenmalure

Wouldn't be surprised if they had some other ticks as well
