McClure (39) is back in the scorecard game

Steve McClure, who has put up several 9a's in UK and who was appointed #35+ climber of the year 2008 and 2009, has recorded some ascent in his old scorecard from 2000 making him #6 in the 8a ranking game. "The world now knows the value of 8a.nu, and most don't take it very seriously. It has become an incredible resource of information. I like that you have started with warnings signs for the ranking. This year I hope to do some more travel and to get 15 000 points challenging Ondra and proving without doubt that I am the best climber in the world." Picture from steve-mcclure.com
