Facey B.Caro's page had a photo of him on it. "And yesterday, Something's Burning Flash for James. Ok, that was a very precise flash, I showed him every beta, every gear. I wouldn't have let him try the route without preparation otherwise, as the gear is super precise, and not wonderfull at all. Anyway, He didn't fall, flashing is first E9 ever!!!!Thanks Charlie for having had the vision for such a great route!"
Strong effort from James!Anyone know if Caro did it too?
UK climbing has a lot of adventure.Even easy route like E1 and E2 need to commit to climb on..I found It has always spice to climb...you can't jump on even easy route.
Another E9 for the group.Yuji has done John Dunne's 'The Big Issue' E9 6c.At least, I'm assuming he did it from his facebook post.
and if you define a valid trad ascent as placing all gear on lead (as lots of people do around the world),
2nd ascent of Ropes of Maui 8B in Llanberis Pass goes to Dom Bridgwood:http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=740
I'm only going on a Google translate of that article, but as far as I can tell the facts seem pretty reasonable to me - I'm guessing you don't like Up Climbing
Effort Dom, enjoy the little Vimeo vids . Strong.
