Not a significant repeat is it! New thread? Not often we get new 9a+s in the UK!
Sounds like a variant of a variant.
Is it a repeat of Meltdown Direct 9a+ ? or a different route?https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crags/twll_mawr-636/meltdown_direct-654579
I don’t really understand rope soloing but it looks just as sketchy as leading it, ie probably just a faffier version of free soloing the thing, especially as this is apparently only the second ascent without a pad in the fall zone.
Awesome. 👏Did he do it the way Steve went or the on-trend variation way he was trying it last year?
