Ben pushed the cutting edge of sport climbing in the 1980s and 1990s as well as establishing hard boulder problems in the early 2000s. He made many notable ascents in the UK including [Statement of Youth](/climb/362/statement-of-youth) at [Lower Pen Trwyn](/crag/1004/lower-pen-trwyn), one of the earliest examples of a pure sport route in the UK (previously many routes were climbed in a sport style but relied on old aid gear. Ben equipped Statement with bolts specifically to free climb it). ### 1980s Ben established or repeated many of the hardest sport routes in the world at the time, most notably in the UK and the France. [Agincourt](/climb/460/agincourt) at [Buoux](/crag/2006/buoux), first climbed by Ben in 1989, was one of the hardest lines in the world at the time and still has a fierce reputation featuring extremely hard moves on tiny pockets. ### 1990s in 1990 Ben established [Hubble](/climb/5/hubble) at [Raven Tor](/crag/146/raven-tor), at the time the first 8c+ in the world but now considered to be 9a. Around 1995 he put considerable effort in to what would become [Northern Lights](/climb/391/northern-lights) at [Kilnsey](/crag/608/kilnsey) but despite an extended campaign couldn't get it done. This marked a bit of a turning point where he started to focus more on bouldering. ### 2000s In 2005 he established [Voyager](/climb/174/voyager) an 8B boulder in the Peak DIstrict, then almost exactly a year later Ben succeeded in climbing the low start [Voyager SDS](/climb/124/voyager-sds) to give the peak district one of it's hardest problems to date and an enduring testpiece that took 9 years before seeing a second ascent. Ben continues to climb hard. In 2015 he climbed [Rainshadow](/climb/7/rainshadow) for his second 9a, 25 years after making the first ascent of Hubble. ### References [1] Interview with [Simon Lee](/climber/1098/simon-lee), September 2013 [https://vimeo.com/75374593](https://vimeo.com/75374593) [2] Training in the cellar with [Jerry Moffatt](/climber/131/jerry-moffatt), 1989 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LceV005nte0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LceV005nte0) [3] [The Real Thing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brbxoKEgsw0) [4] Stone Love, 2001 film by [Ben Pritchard](/climber/986/ben-pritchard) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FguueX9jM78](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FguueX9jM78) [5] 80's Birth of Extreme by Al Hughes [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkj3Buhfi2k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkj3Buhfi2k) [6] Statement of Youth, 2019 Film by [UKClimbing](https://www.ukclimbing.com/) and Nick Brown [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeqI9axxrco](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeqI9axxrco).
