I get the feeling Johnny G's E6 might have been a tad harder than 6c+/7a...

Ned and Barrans both did it along with Kevin Jorgeson and Kevin Kucovich in the same day.  Send train.......

Chris Bevins (who he?) made the first British solo NIAD ascent.  :bow:

Here's a nice video of Chris Bevins and Oli Lyon and their trips over the last 7 years to Yosemite, Utah, Squamish, Thailand, the Verdon and Thailand the cunts.

Monster effort! I'm bushed after 4 pitches of that nonsense in a day. The level of physical exertion required for 32 odd pitches of it boggles the mind.

Kevin Cuckovich doing Sunseeker.



Think Ned and Barrans both spent two days on it. A stunning line!

Amazing looking problem. That mantel looks well tenuous, look how close he'd got previously.......
