Amazing! Amazing problem, and stunning to do 8C in a session. Wtaf, as they say.

In reply to UKC News:

Nice good effort, just goes to show the vagaries of grading at the upper end, would wager he wouldn't even come close on a problem like The Rail 8b+ at Bowden Doors, condition dependent and holdless on apearances, Dan Varian who is no slouch projected this for years, The Uk's hardest problem?

Clearly all armchair speculation however I think you are probably right.

Bear in mind Dan's grading was effectively blocked off at 8B+ due to the 'efforts' of the G - he's wrote about this to some extent on the other channel. With this in mind some of his longer projects could well be in a different league - although honestly it'll take someone like James or Aidan going and trying/repeating them to put an reality in that statement.

That is some top notch armchair speculation.
