Will Smith has done Estado Critico for his second 9a https://github.com/bourbonspecial/UKStrongPeople/blob/master/men_routes.md
 
Josh Ibbertson needs a bump for Rainshadow, and while you're at it his dad James did Bat Route a few days earlier for his first 8c. Strong team!

Good knowledge, thanks.

Angus Kille isn’t on the list but has climbed Mind Control (few years back) at Oliana and also an 8c/+ down in south Spain somewhere.
 
Good knowledge, thanks Ed. I've added Mind control in for him but can't find the other 8c/+ on google, any idea where I could find some more details?

Thanks for chasing it up :2thumbsup:

I've added Josh's ascent to the list https://climbing-history.org/climber/180/josh-ibbertson He's been going well the last 12 months! First Rainshadow, then Northern Lights and now this!
 
I get confused by the link ups in this area, does that mean Josh has done Rainman in 2 sections now, (this and Rainshadow) or is there more hard climbing independent of these two lines?

Yes - he's done it in two sections. There might be a move or two right that is different at the bulge at the end of the Rainshadow crux section but nothing majorly different that Im aware of.
 
Thanks Shark.

3 9a’s in a year must be up there in terms of all time UK performance?

Sure is. Will Bosi is the other person who comes to mind, between feb 2020 and march 2021 he climbed King Capella (9b+ fa), La Furia de Jabali (9b fa), La Capella (9b), first ley (9a+), last night (9a), estado critico (9a) and la ley indignata (9a). Honourable mentions for Tom Bolger and Buster Martin.

Kev Avery did his first 8c a few weeks back. In France as well so probably not a soft one!

La Benediction.

Mega! Always good to see someone new on the list.
