Malc did the big one at the Anvil today! 

'Blood Diamond' (8C+), which links the tricky bit of 'Blood Fire' (8a+) into 'Body Blow' (8B+). One of the straightest and best quality lines on the crag.

He looked good on it last week and went back to finish it off this weekend, awesome line and an awesome effort!

I got some good footage of the first half last week, I wish I'd have got him sending it all though!

The baby giraffe chose the wrong weekend to go on a bender. Does your hood still smell of ketchup?

I blame Henners, he makes me go out and get wasted.

Yes, my hood still smells of ketchup.......

I'm so psyched for the Anvil, can't believe I've not climbed there yet. 

Awesome effort by the quietScottish beast!

Awesome. Amazing that even after all these years Malc is still climbing so hard. Based on http://www.scottishclimbs.com/wiki/News and Doylos blog over the last few months hes climbed several Font 8b boulder problems in Dumbarton and Parisellas, climbed statement of youth 8a, done a 8a+ and 8b+  in a day in dumbuck, been working liquid ambar 8c+ and rainshadow 9a and now climbed this new 8c+. (did I miss anything?). 

Sounds like a normal day for Ondra but he must be in some form at the minute! There can't be many other british climbers regularly climbing so well on routes and boulders at the minute??

[Doylo]

He's been one of the top climbers in britain for almost 20 years! Not bad!

Lets face it Ondra is a wad, but who doesn't like to read about Malc? A true hero and inspiration to us all!
