In reply to AMorris:
> I don't think I have ever heard anyone genuinely question anything apart from Shadowplay and VNB (ignoring the gossip bollocks). Quite a few people have seen him climb Hubble over the years since he used it to train for Brandenburg. Even Ben Moon counts him as an ascentionist.
To keep the facts and record straight saying "quite a few people have seen him climb Hubble over the years since he used it to train for Brandenburg" is at best misleading and more likely untrue (though I would love to be proved wrong).
The only person that saw him climb (as in redpoint) Hubble was his brother who belayed him. Others saw him on it, but not do it. If he went back on it afterwards to train for Brandenburg then that is news to me, and if he did do so then there are no eye witness accounts of him re-redpointing it as you imply.
Regarding Brandenburg he was belayed by his wife and Paul Reeve saw him get high but cant remember exactly how high and that may not even have been his best redpoint.
Those to my knowledge are the currently known facts relating to him redpointing Hubble.

William Bosi has made a rare ascent of Hubble (9a) at Raven Tor. It has been climbed by just a handful of people since Ben Moon made the first ascent in 1990. Will is no stranger to hard limestone, becoming the youngest Brit to tick 9a earlier this year with his ascent of Rainshadow.
