Amazing.

[SA Chris]

Lanky streak off piss.

Definitely small man's complex there. At least if you can't  reach you can just say it's impossible and do a variation finish. Then downgrade it

[dave]

do we have a name for this one yet?

[Bonjoy]

Gerty Berwick i think. It's the name chipped into the rock at the bottom.

[dave]

we have a winner:



Worst Route Name Ever

What Dave said.

[Johnny Brown]

I like it, a damn sight better than most recently.

Are you using paint stripper in a confined space again?

The wall has been tried many times by climbers including Steve McClure, James Pearson, Steve Dunning and Jerry Moffatt to name but a few... Both Moffatt and Dunning thought it would never be climbed, making Ryan's achievement even more impressive.


Wow.

The line looks absolutely stunning in the photos I've seen.

Being rather morpho myself (6'7") I am even more impressed. I have only done a few problems no-one else could manage because of the reachiness involved. There's nearly always a way around a long reach, that the very best climbers have failed on this reallys says something. Respect!

(not to imply any top-level climbers have ever tried any of my obscure variations!)

And Moffatt or Dunning are quite tall themselves 

[Andy F]

And Stunning has a big span as well, which show's how impressive Ry's ascent is.

Indeed. Dunne was spied trying it a few times with full out dynos and he was quite a big lad.

[Idol eyes]

Me and JD tried this on the best conditions ever... JD waltzed it only to fail on the final crux... I struggled to do the start... Wicked piece of wall! Great effort.

I'm not sure Dunney's sort of 'size' was of the helpful kind on this route. It would have helped if he'd been a bit taller.....

Really impressive stuff...


The comments about this route and its morpho nature are a bit miss-leading - Its just plain hard no matter how tall you are. The dyno to the jug is relatively easy, maybe 7b+ from what I remember. The next move (crux) is a desperate move off a terrible edge and would not be  significantly easier for a lanky climber. I would have thought that anyone of average height would have equal chance.

When I tried this route (7 years ago) I couldn't really move on the crux and just gave up.

Any chance we're going to get video of this soon?

Nice one Master Dunning. Fair do's to the Quill then. What a beast!

[Johnny Brown]

even heard today he onsighted the hardest section on top-rope. m-o-n-s-t-e-r

Was wrong about that. There was a couple of camera on him for the ascent. Filmed for Posing Productions.
