I was so impressed when I heard he was trying this line. It is simply one of the most stunning pieces of rock I've ever seen, and no doubt extremely hard to boot. I remember thinking the top half was 8a+  in it's own right.

Brilliant effort James, must have been quite a contrast to the DWS!

Well done, Youth.  Nicely done, it looks a class (but frightening) line!

Great write up on the Hot Aches blog.

http://www.hotaches.blogspot.com/

Sounds utterly terrifying. Impressive levels of psyche and tenacity when you consider he already took a 60 footer onto a sh*t piece and has been battling conditions all summer (not just rain, but the sea, which is clearly right at the base of the route!)

Incredible. Respect :bow:

Sorry to ruin your theory Dave, but I once spent an evening with both of them and can vouch for their uprightness.  It was back in the day when I was staying up in bonny Scotland with Si O'Con.  Happy days.  Think it was then that I did my first V15.
