Sheffield based climber Ryan Pasquill has redpointed the Jerry Moffat test-piece Evolution (F8c/+) at Raven Tor in the Peak District.
Pasquill has also been active on the grit, repeating Toy Boy (E7 or highball 7C+ ish) and grabbing the first repeat of the highball That's My Lot at Rivelin.
In reply to UKC News: I don't want to be pedantic and I'm certainly not trying to take anything away from a great ascents, but Toyboy has never been mooted as an E8 (originally given E6 I think, later upgraded to E7) and as Ryan bouldered it out above pads (I was there) I know he certainly won't be giving himself E6, 7 or 8 for it. By modern reckoning it's a 7c/+ highball into much easier solo terrain. E7/8 just doesn't seem a very accurate way to report this.

You must have a different definition of the word to me then.
( And a higher estimate of the readership of High too.)
Just a note. The close up pic of Ryan is pretty grainy as when i was getting these shots it was pretty dark. I was shooting RAW but there is only so much you can do to artificially add light in Lightroom!
