Eliot Stephens in Magic Wood

Eliot Stephens and Morgan Preece climb on some of Magic Wood's best and most sought-after boulder problems, with a bit of excitement thrown in.

As impressive as this is, it's not particularly newsworthy. This must be, what, the 20th ascent or higher?

 

Either way, well done to Eliot. Great job!

In relation to UK climbing this is still a big number for someone to have climbed

Not really. Malcolm Smith, John Gaskins and Steve Dunning (amongst others) both did 8B+ over a decade ago and there are loads of strong lads out there ticking 8B+ who just don't really bother publicising everything. I can name loads of them.

Not being a c**t, just stating facts. Not exactly cutting edge stuff, unlike Ryuichi Murai going and doing several 8B+s in a week for example

I can only think of James Noble, who are these other dark horse crushers?

I too would like to know who the "loads of them" dong 8B+ are... From the last 2-3 years I can think of

Ned, Joble, Mason, Shauna, Turner, Dawid, Newman, Bosi,

plus not sure on Dan V and Aidan Roberts? Obviously a number of those have been publicised too. So maybe 10 (now 11), or perhaps 3-5 per year? Who have I missed?
