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

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

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).

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!

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!!

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?)

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

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

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

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..'

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.

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

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).
