Matt was the first person to successfully use a kneebar on the route, though he commented that he felt it didn't change the grade for him. > I used the knee pad because it’s obvious. When you do the move on it’s own your knee naturally pushes into the roof, so avoiding it is a little silly in my opinion. The knee bar is actually really bad for the right knee, it’s a knee scum as British people would call it! It didn’t take any weight off my arms, it just slows me down when I release the good left hand pinch to give me a little bit more time to stab my fingers into the blind two-finger pocket in the roof. This move is also very bunched for tall people.

One of the first 8as in the UK. The name is a play on the book [Testament of Youth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testament_of_Youth) and the fact [Ben Moon](/climber/130/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](/climb/1446/masterclass) and [Oyster](/climb/2091/oyster) climbed by [Jerry Moffatt](/climber/131/jerry-moffatt) the year before were subsequently upgraded to 8a. However, these were all narrowly superseded by [Dave Cuthbertson's](/climber/520/dave-cuthbertson) trad route [Requiem](/climb/505/requiem) (E8), featuring 8a/+ climbing.
