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?
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.

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

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

That is some top notch armchair speculation.
