Would have thought there were a few others more than capable.

I just remember watching Moon on Agincourt in the Buoux 8c vid, and shudder in amazement that anyone can onsight at that grade at all.

Aye, its a properly impressive bit of climbing, no doubt. Just surprised that Sharma, Graham, Caldwell et al haven't bagged one between them.

Overhyped 'mericans?

They can probably boulder/ send El Cap rotes quicker than the Spanish guys....

Exactly - no idea. Steve and Rich are good, but I'm sure they'd be the first to admit that they're not currently 8c onsight candidates.

Do you actually climb? Are you aware of what the term "onsight" means? From the above statement, the answer to these would seem to be "no"!
