In reply to Robert Durran:
Big Bob, some thoughts for you:
Axiom, Tunnel walls is hard for 8a, not a good choice for a first 8a!
Have you done Silk Purse, Dunkeld recently? its 7c+ in Scotland but in Spain would be solid 8a.
Worth remembering that Malham can be good when dry over the winter.
Spain:
I second Ergometria, the start is not too bad, almost a slab on teenies, fine when cool, massive rest on a ledge then pumpy 7c+ to top.
Surprised no-one has suggested Cabezon de Oro, check out Columneta, big 45m wall climb, soft for 8a but well worth doing anyway.
What about Forada? Plenty of sustained and softish 8as there too, needs to be calm and warm if going up in Feb tho.
