Two news articles on UKC recently have statements that have incorrect statements on them to basically pump up the relevance of the post.
one regarding the first time 3 GB climbers making a WC Finals when we had 4 in Leeds in 1989! Whilst I am totally supportive of the great efforts of Toby, Max and Erin don’t forget your history.
two regarding Michaela being the first woman to redpoint 9a+ and on sight 8b+ when it has been done by Anak Verhoeven who onsighted 8c. I have nothing against Michaela and it is a superb achievement but again don’t distort history when Anak has already done this.
It is not difficult to check things in the age of the inter net please can we have accurate statements rather than sensational headlines otherwise UKC will just become The Sun of the climbing press!
