If you know of any that haven't been reported I'm sure UKC would be interested in reporting them!
8b is still very close to cutting edge by UK women's standards and is pretty bloody hard even by men's standards, so definitely more than newsworthy.
In reply to Steve nevers:

Good effort Maddie!

According to this geeky list on UKB only 14 british women have climbed 8b or harder in the last 5 years: http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,25986.75.html.

Seems pretty newsworthy to me.

Startling omission of Rachel Farmer from the list! Perhaps someone registered with UKB can mention it

Yeah I thought that when I first saw it. But I think it only covers the past 5 years which is why she's omitted.
