Judging from seeing him on it in Dosage 5, it certainly seems to be 9b. If so, its his 3rd in just over a year.

In reply to Strife:
Awesome!!
Well done to Sharma.

In reply to Strife:


As top end routes are so difficult to grade (in regards to morpho, style, specific strengths etc) I'm sure he'll be glad of the your confirmation. (insert smiley here)

In reply to all.

would love to see him on the first 9b that was first climbed over ten years ago.

i bet he would do it.

In reply to dirtbag1:

As I did not confirm it at any point, I'll go ahead and ignore that comment.

In reply to Strife:

Wow, what judgement you must have!

I thought that I might get this sort of silly sarcastic response when musing about grades. Did you not notice the key words 'judging' and 'seems'? I'm fully aware that my informal judgement is irrelevant and probably inaccurate, but as it was a side-note it was intended to be neither. I was simply stating an obervational opinion, is that not allowed anymore?
It's interesting that you choose to comment and jibe about this triviality when the subject at hand is far more deserving of discussion

In reply to Strife: You're funny.

In reply to Robertostallioni:

Thanks for the confirmation.

In reply to Robertostallioni:
Funny ha ha, or funny peculiar?

In reply to Serpico: Don't worry, he's not as funny as you.

Welcome to ukclimbing...

In reply to Strife: I think you just chose bad wording? To me, it reads like you watched the DVD of Sharma doing his usually grunting up one of his stamina fest routes and it looked so hard that it must be a 9b?

On a side-note, I wouldn't start threads with 'intended side-notes' as people tend to read your first sentence first - just an observation. Oh and the law says you can't muse about a grade until you have climbed the route.

Congrats to Chris.

In reply to Tris:

I'm sure you can tell some climbers by the noise they make when they climb, We have the Sharma grunt, and the Dawes puff, etc

In reply to Tiberius: The Seb Grieve crazy mental case ramblings.

In reply to Strifeon't try to justify your post, just lurk around UKC it's safer.

Apparently there is a new forum opening in the new year, called the Grammar and punctuation forum. It's where all the people who feel the need to criticise spelling,grammar and the rest can hang out.

And perhaps? The rest of us can discuss climbing, just like the good old days of UKC....Whoopee!!

In reply to Strife: All bitching aside, he does rock balls. Does anyone know if this climb can be viewed anywhere yet? Need some inspiration to get out in these sub zero uk conditions, especially since my local climbing wall has just closed down.
