Is it true that for Pearsons flashed 8b's were done after he was sent measurements of the spacing of the holds and the angle of the wall, even getting the holds moulded so he could set the routes?

Where did you hear that?

Incorrect. Ganymede is 8A+ unless you do the original low start when it's 8B. James Pearson flashed it from the low start so I don't think there's any argument on that one. The others have been downgraded by some people and Schule Des Lebens (his other 8B flash) is considered very soft for 8B.

Fair play, great effort

Where did you hear that? I know he mentioned on his blog that he'd been trying a replica of a route (Rhapsody by the look of it) before going to look at the actual thing but I haven't heard this. It would pose a very interesting ethical question.
