Jen Wood is on a good run of form at the moment. In the last 5 days she's climbed 3x 8b, 1x 8a+ and 1x 8a.

And Dalliance 8b+ at Kilnsey today!
 
Obvs a different style of "E grade route", but Will has done The Prow - has the E9 gone from that since Ned and Dan font graded it?

More significantly...smally is leaving route comments on UKC now 8)

Now there's a logbook I'd love to see (looks like it's set to private at the mo).
 
I guess Liv Sansoz is one of the few who've won the world championships in lead and topped K2 without supplementary oxygen
 
Italian Stefano Ragazzo has made a rope solo ascent of Eternal Flame on the South Face of Nameless Tower (6251m) in Pakistan. 650m, 25 pitches up to 7c+, food for 6 days but spent 10 days on the wall due to bad weather. Incredible stuff.

Amazing. But unless it unambiguously says he did it in free I'd asume that some pulling on gear took place. That is how almost everyone does it, unless they have real luck with the weather (and are superstrong)
 
If I remember correctly, Turner did what he thought was Star Power. But then it turned out SP omits a hold out right that Dan used. So Dan wrote up his version as Star Slinger Sit.

Tim on Star Power

Niky did 2nd of Star power last year.

I did both starts yesterday, they both feel very different to each other. Turners is slightly easier as you get the knee in straight away to come into the stand where as DV’s has a few hard moves to get to that stage.

Both are worth doing just depends on what your keen for. I was especially drawn to Star power as the moves into the stand are brilliant and it feels like you’re sticking to the feature a bit more directly.
 
Not sure if this was already mentioned elsewhere but Max Milne flashed Bewilderness :eek:
