UKC

2015 was a record year for climbers breaking the 9b barrier. The number of climbers at the very least doubled and at most more than quadrupled depending on what counts.

If that trend continues this year who is most likely to be added to the list?

Some 10 year old kid no doubt :p

In reply to Morgan Woods:
Or some 50 year old?

In reply to stp:

Has anyone done 9c yet?

In reply to stp:

Steve Mac has been extremely close to his Easy Easy project Malham. I have a cheeky feeling, he'll get it this season.

In reply to zmv:


He broke a hold and made it harder.

And he's a year older.

In reply to stp:



I might nip up one if I can be arsed.

In reply to stp:

I could name 9 newbie climbers

In reply to zmv:

Yeah I hope he does it this year. So weather dependent though: first it needs to dry out, then it needs to not be too hot and humid as it often is in the summer months.

In reply to stp:
My mate Bobby Bribbingsbubb is taking up climbing in 2016.

In reply to 1poundSOCKS:



And a year better!

In reply to Willi Crater:


First 9c+ at 60?

In reply to 1poundSOCKS:


I'll give it a go! Eight years should be enough.
