Steve McClure returned from a week-long New Year trip to Chulilla with an impressive list of routes above 8a - including an 8b+ onsight with Take Okame. The numbers added up to 12 grade 8 routes as well as a few 7c+/8a's.
Steve either onsighted or flashed Dr crimp an 8b+ at kilnsey in the 2000's sometime, sorry cant be more precise 😊 . Also Dave macleod either onsighted or flashed L men's, I remember reading his blog about it
In reply to Adam Lincoln: That's the one where he went off route and used the tree. I think his 8b+ o/s list is fairly long though, would be interesting to know just how long..
Really hope he can get an 8c os before he gets old, would be the cherry on top of the cherry in his career... Can't think of any other sportsman in the UK (maybe ap mccoy but don't know anything about horrse racing) whose been the best for the last 20 years
