In reply to UKC News:
This is really good.
As someone who doesn't really keep up with bouldering, I occasionally saw people like Aidan, Will, Jim, etc. putting up boulders with hard grades attached here and wondered how legit they were (are they really 8C+s? Like reeeally?). When you see videos of the American crushers putting up 8cs they always look amazing blocs. Super steep, tiny granite holds, desperate sequences with lots of shouting VS some grotty peak limestone that our climbers are often putting up eliminates and linkups on (none of the big international names are coming to repeat them, let's be honest). It's really good to see internationally recognised, top-end boulders getting knocked off by Brits. Puts a whole lot of weight behind their other FAs.
Hats off. Get another 9A ticked and surely Aidan is up there with top 1 or 2 people in the world right now.
