Before
Jerry Moffatt was at the forefront of British climbing throughout the eighties and nineties. Jerry established many hard firsts in the UK, Germany, France and USA including historic ascents such as [The Face](/climb/522), [Revelations](/climb/310) and [Liquid Ambar](/climb/66), all at the cutting edge of difficulty at the time they were established. In the early eighties Jerry pushed the mental side of climbing to the limit, onsight soloing mountain extremes, making a traumatising ascent of [Master's Wall](/climb/713/master's-wall) (E7) and soloing pretty much every hard classic on [Dinas Cromlech](/crag/4/dinas-cromlech), up to [Right Wall](/climb/530/right-wall) (E5), in a single day. A trip to America in 1983 saw him onsight some of the hardest routes there, including [Psycho! (Free)](/climb/4306/psycho!-(free)) (E6) and [Genesis](/climb/6047/genesis) (E6). Jerry was a pioneer of training for climbing, initially spending countless hours doing reps in scrappy limestone caves, then building one of the first cellar boards in the world. Jerry was also an early proponent of bouldering in its own right. From early ascents on [The Bowderstone](/crag/2282/the-bowderstone) he went on to put up a host of hard classics such as [The Ace](/climb/157) at [Stanage](/crag/101/stanage-plantation) and [Dominator](/climb/546) in Yosemite. ### References [1] The Real Thing [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brbxoKEgsw0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brbxoKEgsw0) [2] Stone Love [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FguueX9jM78](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FguueX9jM78) [3] 80's Birth of Extreme [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkj3Buhfi2k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkj3Buhfi2k) [4] Statement of Youth [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeqI9axxrco](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeqI9axxrco) [5] Portrait by [Chris Gore](/climber/659/chris-gore) [https://www.facebook.com/climbing.in.the.80s/photos/a.270388289694020/3456311291101688](https://www.facebook.com/climbing.in.the.80s/photos/a.270388289694020/3456311291101688) [6] [https://www.facebook.com/climbing.in.the.80s/photos/a.270388289694020/2732067140192777](https://www.facebook.com/climbing.in.the.80s/photos/a.270388289694020/2732067140192777) [7] [https://www.facebook.com/climbing.in.the.80s/photos/a.270388289694020/876401569092686](https://www.facebook.com/climbing.in.the.80s/photos/a.270388289694020/876401569092686) [8] One Summer by [Ben Pritchard](/climber/986/ben-pritchard), 1994 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnGf69g6Igc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnGf69g6Igc) [9] Interview with Wedge Climbing, 2022 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBmqm3VTrn4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBmqm3VTrn4) [10] Photoshoot for DMM 1995 [https://www.instagram.com/p/Cu8uyrStQ6I/](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cu8uyrStQ6I/) [11] [https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ixcvxW0xNrX07Hxwxw8fE](https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ixcvxW0xNrX07Hxwxw8fE) [12] [https://open.spotify.com/episode/6ITuiLGEgJB8kpavKkNOIK](https://open.spotify.com/episode/6ITuiLGEgJB8kpavKkNOIK)

Before
Lynn Hill is one of the most accomplished rock climbers of all time. Her pioneering ascents in the 1980s and '90s culminated in the first free ascent of [The Nose](/climb/6215/the-nose) on [El Capitan](/crag/8023/el-capitan) – one of the most coveted challenges in climbing – in 1993. The infamous Changing Corners pitch is a masterclass of technical climbing which continues to challenge the very best today. Hill returned the following year to complete the whole climb in under 24 hours. Hill was the first woman to climb 7c, 7c+ and 8b+, and was at top of the comp game throughout the 1980s. [John Long](/climber/728/john-long): > I have been all over the world and have had the fortune of doing things with many special people, some famous, some anonymous. But the biggest little hero I’ve ever known is Lynn Hill. The rest of us are just holding her rope. [2] Hill has experienced only one major accident in her climbing career. On May 9, 1989, she fell during a climb in Buoux, after forgetting to tie in, she fell 85 ft (25 m) into a tree, and was knocked unconscious, dislocated her left elbow and broke a bone in her foot. She had been training hard for the World Cup and had to stop competing for a few months to recover; she was devastated to miss the first World Cup in the sport. However, only six weeks after her fall, she was back climbing. ### References [1] [Half Dome, 1977](https://www.facebook.com/climbing.in.the.80s/photos/a.270388289694020/3475645099168307) [2] [https://www.climbandmore.com/climbers/lynn-hill/](https://www.climbandmore.com/climbers/lynn-hill/) [3] Portrait by [Dean Fidelman](/climber/1628/dean-fidelman), 1997 [https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr3uphIJ2Gy/](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr3uphIJ2Gy/) [4] Interview with [Natalie Berry](/climber/411/natalie-berry) for UKClimbing.com March 2017 [https://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/features/lynn_hill_-_climbing_free-9151](https://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/features/lynn_hill_-_climbing_free-9151) [5] Interview with [Hannah Morris](/climber/2425/hannah-morris), 2024 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE9_oAPRTsE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE9_oAPRTsE) [6] [https://open.spotify.com/episode/3pPhmAHHd46EAjdQkfb09Z?](https://open.spotify.com/episode/3pPhmAHHd46EAjdQkfb09Z?)

Before
The first 9A boulder problem in the world. [Nalle Hukkataival](/climber/602/nalle-hukkataival) made the first ascent in October 2016 and the problem received significant attention from many of the strongest boulderers in the world ([Toru Nakajima](/climber/715/toru--nakajima), [Shawn Raboutou](/climber/671/shawn-raboutou) and [Aidan Roberts](/climber/227/aidan-roberts) to name a few) before [Will Bosi](/climber/132/will-bosi) made the second ascent in April 2023. The problem was initially found by [Marko Siivinen](/climber/1554/marko-siivinen): > At first it looked like it might be possible so we started trying the moves... Pretty soon it was obvious it was a bit too hard for us 😄 So next time we took [[Anton Johansson](/climber/1555/anton-johansson)] with us, who was the strongest man alive at that time. He looked at the problem and touched the holds a bit and said: "well... It looks really good but it also looks like 9A"😂 So the only thing left to do was to take [Nalle](/climber/602/nalle-hukkataival) there and the rest is history. [1] In an interesting twist, the problem has become somewhat famous for replicas being made of it. [Aidan Roberts](/climber/227/aidan-roberts) made a 3D scan of the holds and problem on his phone during a working visit to try the problem, he then 3D printed the holds and worked with [Core Climbing](https://coreclimbing.co.uk/) to cast copies of the holds in resin. Due to the relatively flat, consistent angle of the problem it was then possible to mount the holds indoors and effectively train for the real thing using the replica. Notably, [Will Bosi](/climber/132/will-bosi) trained on the replica for several sessions to train for the problem, then having done all the moves on the replica he booked a trip to try the real thing and made rapid progress, doing all the moves in his first session and then making the second ascent after ~12 sessions on the real thing. At the time of Nalle’s first ascent, the boulder was located in dense woodland. This has since been cleared, leaving the boulder out in the open and potentially improving the chances of getting good conditions. The climb has had very few daytime ascents; short daylight hours and the requirement for cool conditions mean most ascentionists have succeeded during a night time lamp session. ### References [1] [Marko Siivinen](/climber/1554/marko-siivinen) on Instagram, commenting on discovering the problem in 2013.

The first 9A boulder problem in the world.
