Top knowledge people! Here's the updated list.
Lets keep it simple and say trad doesn't count (even if it is totally badass).
p.s. mega/local wad distinction is basically arbitrary. Apologies to any mega wads who i've incorrectly labelled as local wads.

Yes
*edit to say - sorry lagers, that was a bit brief. I'm bouldering with her brother at Anston tomorrow, I'll see what the latest news is.

When I was in the Ariege a couple of years back or more, she had a couple of 8a projects in a grotto, short and steep. Pretty sure she ticked the one that finished on the outside and Paul has definitely said she's working towards 8c since then - I'll check tomorrow what's what and report back.

Since we seem to be adding route names, Lucy was Supercool too (maybe other harder things too, never really promoted herself) and Jules did Predator.

Why has Emma twyford been labelled various and others been credited with one route? Seems bizarre

Nice list. I've got rid of the local wads/mega wads distinction since it seemed arbitrary. I've tried to go for the hardest route/s done in the last 5 years as well

To continue the spirit of top trumps can someone do a list in grade order for wad partnerships (wadnerships?) within last 5 years?
i.e.
Naomi Buys/Jordan Buys, 8a+/9a = 17a+a
Jules/Stu Littlefair, 8b/8c(??) = 16bc
could be some messy ones...

If in doubt, Lock it out (Dynamically)
Couple more to add...

I didn't realise that the list was for ascents in the last five years - I don't know when Dal did Soft Option (that said, I would be surprised if she hasn't ticked something 8a or above in the last 5 years - I have certainly seen her working enough of them).

I'm reasonably sure that Dal did the Ashes/50 for 5 linkup in the last five years anyway. I''l leave her on. I'm not going there with wadnerships - the rules are too troublesome.

Cheers Toby,
A little bird told me that I'd missed off Rae Cowie and Karen Whitehouse as well. Since I've got nothing else to do, and I've watched all the climbing vids on the internet, I thought I'd make a stab of putting these in some sort of graded list as well. This has the advantage of grouping together popular ticks, for those looking to get on this list. Obviously, like all graded lists, this one is 100% accurate and beyond question.

We're over 40 by now, which is pretty cool. I can think of around 10 people who could easily be on this list, but aren't (mostly youths and indoor wads). This is still a long way short of the 100 mentioned in the original post...
