|
To Bolt or Not to Be | Sport route | 8b+ | 29 | ||

Cry Freedom | Sport route | 8c | 15 | This has been upgraded in recent guides yet no holds have broken since the FA and an easier sequence than Mark Leach's original nails method on the top crux was found. It has to be questioned why it went up from its original grade of 8b+? |
