New Thing, 8b - 9a+ by Steve McClure ;)
Steve McClure, who was one of the first celebrities to become an 8a member (he was Top-3 in 2000 and in 2006 he was Top-15), has done a New Thing, 9a? at Raven Tor. Steve gives everybody a boot regarding the grade discussion and says: "However, the grade is also dependant on sponsorship requirement levels and thus varies from F8b to F9a+", "To be precise it would be E4 F8c V10 font 7c+ T / S P0".
Source UKclimbing.com who also informs that, "He hasn't a blog or 8a.nu scorecard" and "Steve McClure is sponsored by Petzl, Five Ten, Beal and Fat Face."
