[iwasmexican]

anyone got a photo of the route?

[JamieG]

I think this might be the buttress.

[shurt]

brilliant stuff.

i miss Ty

[iwasmexican]

brilliant stuff.

i miss Ty

such a hero. hope he did it in undone dragons... 

[Nan]

Did he look at the arete to the right of it too?

[fried]

Anyone have anymore info on this route?

[a dense loner]

The arête to the right is wank and anyone who thinks it's not is an idiot

[Johnny Brown]

I beg to differ.

Impressive stuff from Ty, he made it look about 7c.

[a dense loner]

You would. I always said it wasn't very hard for one of the talented

[Duma]

Awesome. More details please!

[dave]

Great to witness this, given I almost didn't bother to get out of the car as it was pissing it down.

Fantastic ascent, one that pretty much sums up the hard modern highball/route genre.  Would not like to fuck up that last move, even with a tied-down Westie waiting to cradle you into his arms.

[willackers]

Great stuff! The arête to the right looks very good.

[ducko]

Ty's the man! Any footage ?

[205Chris]

It's a shame they'll have to pulp all those copies of Peak Rock now.........

[T_B]

Great stuff! The arête to the right looks very good.

Every winter I expect someone to do the arete and I keep meaning to get back on it. But since breaking my heel... all I can say is if you're lanky it's doable. You'd p*ss it Will.

And great stuff Ty!

[blacky]

Doesn't get much better than a Hard Grit lgp tick! Good work Tyler!! 

[Scouse D]

I disagree with Adam Long. He made it look 6A.
Mega pissed-it

[willackers]

Did anyone film it?

[cofe]

Pritch was filming.

Made it look 5c. Incredible stuff.

[Doylo]

Any advances on 5c? 5a anyone?

[205Chris]

Just Wizard Ridge to go??

[grahamhoey]

Nah, the way it's selling on pre-order it'll be in the 2nd (revised) edition before long

And the scoop at black rocks, if you count the ones highlighted in the vid but not climbed on (others being elder crack arete, cratcliffe groove etc).

[Nibile]

Wow!
Idol.
 

[ferret]

Legend!
Such a talent Ty, not just physically but also in the way he uses his intellect to analyse his and others style and movement.
Great effort Ty, cant wait for a grade.........7b, possibly even 7c move...... Needs the footage of Ben at the start of any vid made of this!

[Richard Sharpe]

So cool that someone finally climbed it!!! Ty is such a legend.
I guess with something like that everything has to go right to get to the top, when that happens it can look easy!! No doubt it's ridiculously hard though!!

[masonwoods101]

Is it too late to ask questions for the Ben moon interview??.......

[SA Chris]

Amazing stuff. How much work did he put in on it? Quite a comeback (unless he's been doing loads of hard stuff under the radar?)

[mini]

That was my first thought, had he been on holiday with Ben?

Agreed, great tick. The line was definitely asking for it.

[tomtom]

He was working Voyager SS when I ambled past about 2pm... probably not the best of connies as the rock was quite warm in the Sun...

[shurt]

It's weird isn't it. I get the impression he's been keeping his hand in for sure. There was some stuff online about him doing a v14 fa last yr in the US but didn't tell anyone and some comps. Either way its an amazing route to get done

[Grubes]

shark any chance of a UKB interview while he is over here?

[tomtom]

shark any chance of a UKB interview while he is over here?

Still an hour of light left for you to get up there and pester him Shark Go on!

[Doylo]

From Moony on Facebook:
'Ty soloed it with a load of pads after practicing it on a top rope. It was really windy and cold, good conditions for something like this but you need a ton of motivation. It reminded me of the conditions I used to try Voyager Low which Ty is going to tomorrow. I don't know how hard he thought Smiling Buttress was but he didn't make it look very hard. I always thought it was something like hard Font 8b but whose knows maybe it's 8b+. You would certainly need to be climbing 8b+ to do it. Ben Pritchard got it on film and we will be posting this footage shortly. Ty is proper world class. He should get a rope on..'

[Offwidth]

. Ty is proper world class. He should get a rope on..'

Loving this!

What's this stuff above about Cratcliffe Groove as a LGP (as a bridging problem??). Has there been a proper second ascent doing the hard top bit yet... people had tried who could do the bottom bit but not the top.

[Kingy]

Yes it was all a bit wierd the yanks eschewing James's proper finish to the Cratcliffe groove, what was that all about? Pressure to get it bagged before the plane home? They just ran up one of the E2's to finish instead. Still awaiting a 2nd ascent AFAIK

[honroid]

Inspirational stuff. Ty done good; a high, hard problem that's eluded many! Love it

[Grubes]

good interview with Ty on the other channel

Nice words from the Moon there.

[Robsons]

Anyone know when the footage Ben took will be released?
Can't wait to see it!

Ask benpritch (he filmed it).

[Nibile]

What a fucking legend!

[shurt]

The bouldering world is a lesser place without Ty busting his stylish moves on a regular basis. He made it look pretty smooth compared to Bens aping around (no offense meant towards Ben by that).

[Fiend]

It looks like he did a 7B version by accident! Waaay too 

[Doylo]

Not a little boy anymore yo, squeezing juice out the rock yo.. .

[SA Chris]

So what's the hardest single move on grit then?

Makes it look piss. Great vid.

[kelvin]

Makes it look 4C.

[Fiend]

Good question about the hardest move Chris.

I reckon the pop on Cypher might be a contender.

[Doylo]

What about on Second Coming? Dan V would know

[Fiend]

Which is that? Steve D's thing at....somewhere? Goldsborough?

[Doylo]

Which is that? Steve D's thing at....somewhere? Goldsborough?

Ye 8b+ so they say and shorter than Voyager low so guessing it has quite a hard move.
