I recall posting that she should be on it but it was discounted as future potential.
Be interesting to see how long it takes for an 8B ascent!

This is a prime example of why digital media is taking over from printed. Always behind the game!
Easy, tigers! Shauna was name checked and UKB mentioned in the original article, but both (along with a load of other stuff) was cut out to make it fit between the adverts. Maybe Dave's hit the nail on the head - I might put the uncut version on the CWorks blog at some point. (Best make it soon though as its already out of date!) Nice one, Shauna. :clap2:

Brilliant effort, but Pilgrim is down as 8A/+ in the guide (and admittedly given an incorrect description by yours truly. :-[)
What's changed? - those grades were argued over for months by a big group of people.
If Pilgrim gets 8A+ nowadays I want 7C+ for Rock Atrocity! :worms:

I thought Pilgrim felt the same as In Hell. Obviously same finish too. Would be pretty stern at 8a!

Fair enough, although it would be good to hear some more grade opinions as this is obviously an historically important ascent.

My opinion, for what it's worth.
Well, firstly, amazing, amazing effort. It's hard, burly, and there's a BIG move to get the Rockiatrocity flake, which I believe Shawna has to jump to (unless she's grown since she did Rockatrocity first time).
No doubt this will dent some egos. Good. I think this is a world class ascent.
Grade-wise: I have tried The Pilgrim a bit. I linked from the start to the start of Rockatrocity, and I believe this is an 18 move 7c+. Add a hard, strenuous 7c to that, and you must get 8a+. It's not like you do a steep 7c+ into a vertical 7c - it's all much the same: Steep, fingery, hard on the core. It's way harder than, say, Staminaband (the only other long-ish problem I've done in that grade range).
I'll certanly put my vote in for solid 8a+. Again, I must emphasize that I haven't done it, or even got that close. Make of that what you will...

It was probably some local who's got it wired who suggested 8a/+.its hard 7c+ into hard 7c I.e.not 8a. Its miles harder than the 8as.consider something like pit of hell (7b+ into 7c).its no easier than other 8a+s like the wire and In hell/in life.
Simon, if you said you wanted to put RA up to 7c+ I wouldnt be complaining. Its the hardest 7c I have ever been on!
And the first bit to get to rock attrocity - well, i think its desperate! So - extremely good effort anyone doing it, and especially Shauna for being shorter and the first lady to do so. Blimey. It never fails to amuse when you see her at the wall surrounded by sweaty top off men and she burns them all off. They go a bit crestfallen. Beanie hat + no shirt not such a hot combo now eh punk?
Thats not true. Pedro and Ximenez where spotting him, but they have gone back to spain (where there are no computers) now.

He managed to get halfway back as well, all sans pads or spotters :bow:
