Ben Moon (climber)

In 1991, Moon made the first-ever redpoint in history of a consensus grade 8c+ (5.14c) climbing route with his ascent of Hubble.

The routes were both in France and had been previously attempted for a long time by local climbers.

After climbing them Moon named them after French military disasters, first the Maginot Line, at Volx,[1][2] and secondly Agincourt, at Buoux.

[3] On 8 June 2015, Moon redpointed the Steve McClure route Rainshadow, 9a (5.14d), at Malham Cove in North Yorkshire, England.
