UK men who have bouldered >=8B recently...

[Doylo]

I'm not sure it's part of the Lattice cash for grades scam so 8A+ is fine.

What’s this refer to? :shrug:
Sounds interesting opcorn:

If you pay Lattice a load of money they'll put you on their "Wannabe to 8B" training programme, guaranteed to get you up that magic grade. It's geared to getting people up Keen Roof. Remus (Lattice number cruncher and keeper of the list) can't downgrade Keen Roof as there'll be a load of people asking for their money back.

Capitalism at its worst.

Don't worry I'm keen to go and try it, they'll have to if i do it, seems the done thing.

Cool to compile people's hard climbs but list doesn't really make for great reading in my opinion. I know it may be in it's infancy but some of the folk with more listed climbs than people like Ned is farcical, myself included. He has done over 100 8B's!!!! You are never going to compile or know how many of each grade someone has done, especially someone like Ned or Micky. Never mind keep track of the folk who choose to bullshit about ascents.

There you go remus. Since JackPal's been sacked as a UKB news reporter, he's now your new list co-curator!

8B+ and higher list instead that way less people like Jack and I can cheat our way on it with link ups or easy climbs.

Ah this is excellent news, delighted with the new role. First bit of business is removing keen roof from the list, get that work load cut in half straight away.

Off on annual leave for a couple months now. Those links aren’t going to climb themselves.

An exhaustive list of stuff people have climbed has never been an aim and never will be because it's way too much work, and most likely totally infeasible even if you had all the time in the world (for the reasons you've mentioned).

The new site is just a more convenient way of logging interesting ascents. At the moment this is the hardest stuff people have done, though I've been thinking about expanding it out to include more hard FA details and ascents in particular styles e.g. hard flash/onsight ascents, first of the grade stuff etc.

Ed Hamer is on the list for Louis Armstrong, but he also did keen roof in 2012 https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.269983799759184&type=3&comment_id=270364529721111

Also, James Pearson is on the list as 'James Peason' with 8B for keen roof. He did his first 8B+ in January, Master and Cifuentes in Alcañiz, Spain https://www.climber.co.uk/news/news/master-and-cifuentes-font-8b-for-james-pearson/

Thanks, I've added this one in but generally Im not gonna bother keeping an exhaustive list of everything that's been done at 8B and above as it's too much work. Will probably stop at around 2-3 ascents per person in future, though seems sensible to record more if they're interesting ascents (flashes, early ascents at a grade, FAs etc.)

Good shout, I've added that in.

Matt Cousins topped The Ace at the plantation earlier today, a good effort!

 

[Steve R]

What with?

 

[AMorris]

Oof, did I miss something? :worms:

 

[RobK]

Liam Halsey did Cypher a couple of weeks back. In a session apparently. He's probably already ticked 8B but he'd be the last person to tell anyone.
