UKC

I noticed that now the France section has been added to the database:

http://www.rockfax.com/databases/results_area.html?id=1036

so thought I would add my thoughts here:

Ceuse - not sure why Medicin Douce and Ananda are both Top 50 since they are both fairly similar in style and grade
- no Super Mickey or Privelig in Top 50? see description for Privelige:
http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=29525
which does seem to argue for inclusion.
- there is no entry for St George Pecos (7a) but Sitting Bull seems to include its name in the description:
http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=29661
- One of Super Mario or Zagreb should definitely be in the top 50!
the stars seems generally spot on, as are the descriptions, although I would query some of the Top 50 which have no description (i realise the web version may be a work in progress)....and it's nice to see the local ethic being respected by Realization being a mere footnote to the main entry for Biographie ;p

Buoux - good to see Bon Anniversaire Ente upgraded to 7a+ seeing as I failed on it :p
- some of the Plage routes are top 50 but only 2 stars? (same in other sectors)
- wierd description on Agincourt:
http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=30157
- Styx sector should really start at Os Court

anyway hope this helps and looking forward to the new guide.

In reply to Morgan Woods:

The Agincourt 'description' (s La Chiquette du Graal 3pfsc 8b+) is the name etc from another route with the keyboard shortcuts we use:

22) La Chiquette *** pumpy/fingery/sustained tick box 8b+

Not sure how it crept in there though it will be changed!

PS Thanks for the feedback.

In reply to Morgan Woods:

Useful stuff, thanks for that Morgan.

Top50 is auto-generated so ignore for now - there are no votes in the system. We may not actually use a Top50 icon in this guide since there will be little consensus about quality by the time we publish.

St Georges Entry now sorted.

Agincourt entry now sorted.

Styx sector is defined by the guidebook pages. It looks okay in the book.


Please submit all comments to the database though since these emails go direct to Adrian and myself so that we can act on them when editing.

In reply to Morgan Woods: Agree on Zagreb, still stands out as one of the best sport routes I have ever done.
