Tried extensively by Ben Moon. Despite coming close around 1995 was unable to finish the route due to a combination of poor conditions and injury. Steve McClure's successful ascent in July 2000 represented a passing of the torch, with him taking on the mantle as the UK's pre-eminent sport climber by finishing off Ben's old project.

Eneko Pou:

The first part consists of seven pitches (about 300 m) with difficulties that do not exceed 7b, but many of them either do not have bolts, or only have one or two, meaning that you’re tested physically and psychologically since, in many places, falls are potentially very dangerous.

Iker Pou:

The second part consists of another seven more difficult pitches, very vertical and without rests, past continuous difficulties that peak with an 8c. As in the first section, bolts are runout and the pro needs backing up with trad gear. This was by far the crux. [1]

Speed Intégrale Sport route 9a 8
Statement of Youth Sport route 8a 8

One of the first 8as in the UK. The name is a play on the book Testament of Youth and the fact Ben Moon was a mere 18 years old when he made the first ascent.

First climbed in 1984, for some time the route was cited as the first 8a in the UK. The nearby routes Masterclass and Oyster climbed by Jerry Moffatt the year before were subsequently upgraded to 8a. However, these were all narrowly superseded by Dave Cuthbertson's trad route Requiem (E8), featuring 8a/+ climbing.
