He looks like a guy we met in Mello in May.

if the dyno start hold is the one by his feet, hand hold to hand hold that must be about 8 feet.(240cm). pretty mahoosive

Think it was. He's been about a bit!

Yeah it 's the one by his feet. The one he did in Czech is quite a bit bigger I think

Pete did Sea of Tranquillity this morning, sounds pretty hard. Is this the second ascent? (Neil Carsons ascent?)

"the hardest climb I have ever done"

I guess if this is harder than LA then it must be top top 8c! He does like to pick them.

Well done throbber

I think the photo caption in the old guide was a mistake - I'm pretty sure it's the second ascent.

Fine effort.

Awesome repeat!

Not sure if I've missed it being reported anywhere on here but I see (via Dobbin on Twitter and 8a.twat) that our own Mr Mason has climbed 8B in Switzerland (Permanent Midnight @ Fionnay).

Top effort!

Is that from the original start or the Big Island version?  Nice one either way.
