The Boss 8B+ and More • Gritstone Bouldering

This week's episode is a big one. Featuring 'The Boss', rumoured as the hardest problem on Gritstone, as well as some classics and the first ascent of one of The Peaks last well-known projects.
This is the last episode of our Gritstone series, but fear not, we've got plenty more videos on the way.

Timestamps:
Intro: (0:00)
The Boss 8B+.: (0:20)
Put up last year by Ned Feehally, this boulder can be found at Yarncliffe just up from the quarry. It's one of, if not the hardest problem on Gritstone.
Black Rhino 7A: (4:13)
A classic of the crag, one of the best of the grade in the whole of the Peak District.
Hare Today Gone Tomorrow 8A: (4:43)
A rarely repeated problem put up by Tom Newman a few years ago. Sustained hard moves on thin crimpy slots.
Bloodhound 8A FA: (6:35)
A well-known project straight up the face. Initially Jim thought this could be harder than 8A, but it has seen a couple of repeats by people who used slightly different beta and have proposed the grade of 8A.
