The provocative cover line on Crags magazine asked the question "Can this be Britain's first 6c" (referring to the UK technical grade, meaning somewhere upwards of French 7b+) an example of Betteridge's Law. The grade is now thought UK 6a or around French 7a. ### References [1] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines)

The provocative cover line from editor [Geoff Birtles](/climber/1096/geoff-birtles) on Crags magazine asked the question "Can this be Britain's first 6c" (referring to the UK technical grade, meaning somewhere upwards of French 7b+), an example of Betteridge's Law of headlines. Supersonic was a relatively sustained route for its time which perhaps excused the hyperbole.
