Ian Vickers Lead (Flash) 1997
Chris Savage Lead (Flash) 4th Jun 2011

A great effort by Chris. For the sake of historical accuracy, its worth noting that Chris had climbed The Thumb previously on his 2 week trip (which shares the undercut finishing moves) - see Chris's 8a.nu scorecard.

Molly Thompson-Smith Lead (Flash) 11th Jun 2021

First British woman to flash 8a+ in the UK.
