Good shout, would be nice to keep these open in case someone knows who they are.

Ah got a lead on PaulJC...gotta be Paul Carruthers according to https://www.8a.nu/crags/bouldering/united-kingdom/bowden-doors/sectors/unknown-sector/routes/working-class-ss. I've added his ascent in.

@Mattsparksy any idea on this one? 👆

Ok so for GTS bouldering the guy logged the 7C+ crouch start as the 8B version (bit cheeky if you ask me) so that's dead.

As for Sev I'm pretty sure he's from the chossy footage videos. I've dropped them a DM, as I vaguely know them.

Good scouting 💪

Got a reply from the Chossy footage boys and said it was him. Will add it.

Looks like Jim based on his insta story today (feat Clem + some mountains)

jim said he was going back to Cham around this time so probably him.

Looks like we've got a new addition to the list https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/showlog.php?id=160716

Anyone know who he is?

Apparently Tom who runs https://www.southwalesresoles.co.uk/

Struggling to track down his last name

Good knowledge, I'll drop him an email via the website and see if he is our man.

Post #15 by remus at 10:30:14 on 6th January 2026.

It is indeed him, confusingly he shares a name with another strong Tom https://climbing-history.org/climber/3645/tom-williams

Another strong Tom also from South Wales seemingly haha

Can we link his Instagram to help with any confusion or do we think he likes to keep stuff private? https://www.instagram.com/south_wales_resoles

Linking his business ig account seems fine, presumably he's happy if that gets traffic. I've just added it to his profile, along with a link to https://www.southwalesresoles.co.uk/

I made the same mistake, Leo told me about this straight after!
