In reply to UKC Articles:
Congratulations Steve!
Reading the article brings back memories of Steve's 'Magic Grades' series of articles on planetfear.com back in the day. I think the grades he chose were E1, E3, E5, 7b+, 8a, 8b+, and 9a. The articles were lost when planetfear disappeared, but if you have time you can hunt them down on the Internet Archive. Here's the E1 one: https://web.archive.org/web/20071026233759/http://www.planetfear.com/articl...
That series of articles was really inspiring for a younger me. I haven't managed to tick all of the 'magic grades', but I'm 9 years younger than Steve, so there's hope yet! (Though I think the chances of reaching 9a are slim-to-none!)
