Check out what Steve Mcclures been up to in Spain. The first brit to onsight 8b+ and one of the few in the world to onsight this grade.

From 8anu:

"During the trip McLure climbed 13x8a, 5x8a+, 2x8b and 1x8b+ all on-sight and in only Eight days (climbing 2 days on and then taking 1 day off to rest) "

In reply to Chris Doyle: Just for reference, what is the best sport onsight so far?

In reply to Jonathan T: Mortal Kombat...used to be 8c but seems to have slipped down to 8b+ has been onsighted by Yuji Hirayama, Christian Brenner and someone else I can't remember...so 8b+ is the cutting edge...

Yep no ones onsighted 8c yet, reckon Steve's the man for the job! Steve joins an elite field of onsighting at this level, yuji hirayama, christian brenna, ellie chevieux, chris sharma, dave graham (flashed), garth miller and thats all i can think of!
