significant repeats

[cowboyhat]

Buster Martin has done Bat Route 8c at Malham today, no stopping these youths, youngest Brit to climb 8c at 16 not 17 till later this month. Well done Buster, lets see a few more hard routes go down this year.

Good effort!

For the sake of record/ pedantry; didn't Matt Donnelly do Make It Funky when he was 16, in 1996...?

I believe you will find that is a bit of sore point for Mr Donnelly! Close but no cigar for him, still he made up for it with Mecca Extension 16 years later!

How old was Tom Bulger when he first climbed 8c - must have been around 16?

Tom Bolger? About 20 i reckon.

I thought Bolger had done 8b+ (Mecca?) at 16 but not sure after that?

Could well be wrong though..... :shrug:

Fair play getting on that face again after having a bit of an epic years back.

I belayed Johnny on an early attempt and can confirm it wasn't a super-fun experience.

Seems James' was an 'in a day' ascent - just incredibly impressive.

Respect to Caff, it was damn hot yesterday!
