<p>Traditionally protected ~8a climbing making it a contender for the first 8a in the UK.</p>
After
<p>Traditionally protected 8a/+ climbing, making it not just the first E8 in the UK, but the first 8a or harder too. The route was established mostly ground-up by <a href="/climber/520/dave-cuthbertson" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dave 'Cubby' Cuthbertson</a>, just having a peek at the final moves from a top rope after an epic siege.</p> <p>The route seems to have been consistently cited as 8a+ until the mid 2010s. Cubby:</p> <blockquote> <p>Well, I never gave it 8a+… I think sometimes the grades get a little bit inflated on traditionally protected routes, personally speaking. I'm still of that opinion... So, I've done <a href="/climb/362/statement-of-youth" rel="noopener noreferrer">Statement of Youth</a> (8a) on Lower Pen Trwyn. It's actually quite a solid route, really. So, it's a very hard route to compare, to begin with. Requiem is obviously not a sport route, and it wasn't done in sport style either. So, it's got a slightly confused style of ascent, really. So, it's certainly no less than 8a, I wouldn't think, whether it's 8a or 8a+ or not, I guess it's neither here nor there. </p> </blockquote>

End of a dream!" >>On his 2nd attempt he got to the top of the crack but came off getting established on the head wall above this. On his 3rd attempt on day 2 he cruised all the way to the top only to find that the top was wet as it had started to rain. >>After spending a few minutes hanging onto wet basalt Craig shouted down in his best Victor Meldrew impression that "he couldn't believe it" and casually down climbed to his last runner and lowered off.
