mcpage did high fidelity yesterday, when he should have been training! people have no discipline anymore

on nacho's 8b flash in targa, little scott did the 8a stand from the 2 undercuts in the roof, one of which nacho couldn't be bothered with. scott's no slouch in roofs either so today i heard how hard this 8b actually is. the result was about 8b, just in case people were thinking it looked ok

17 year old Barnaby Ventham repeated Don't Pierdol 8A+ at High Rocks yesterday. Done in less than 10 attempts and on his first go of the second session working the problem!

Ben,

Is Barnaby still convinced that his problem Mega Ten is 7C+?

Also, when are you back in South Wales? Let me know if you want some company.

Hi Kev,

I think Barnaby was a bit reluctant to grade Mega Ten too high as at the time he hadnt really climbed many Font 8's. Personally I think its got to be at least 8a, especially considering it took him so long and he is pretty much walking up 8a+'s recently!

Might be coming over to South Wales this weekend, I will send yo a PM if we do!

Cheers

Ben!
 
Effort Shauna, showing my ignorance here but how many ladies have bouldered 8a or above on the grit?
 
Ben Bransby made short work of the 5th ascent of The Crack/Screaming Dream today. First session, 3rd or 4th go, well good.
 
Nice. I remember the footage of Jason Kehl doing that with some wack haircut and a lot of shouting. Pretty pure-looking problem.
 
I think he built a totem pole of them, set fire to it, and left it smouldering beneath the problem to give suitable sending vibes :alien:
