Very inspiring stuff!

I'm still holding out for Jerry's big comeback though...

Does anyone know if he still climbs? Would be psyched if he did.

More chance of me getting up Rainshadow.

When Moony will do Northern Lights finally the climbing world will regain meaning for me.

You may yet get your wish... from the interview that's just gone up on UKC:

What's next for you?
Northern Lights really, I really want to see if I can do Northern Lights - my old Kilnsey project - so I'd like to go and check out that, see how it feels and how it compares to Rainshadow.

I purchased a Moon hoody yesterday as way of paying homage.

Reckon he should do these tees with the 8 turned into a 9, would sell tons:

That hat really needs to be on someone with a huge ginger beard, no socks, sipping ironic craft beer from a jamjar.

Along with the 'King of The Wave' T Shirts I suggested to him should be double whammy

Another T shirt idea

9a isn't that hard anymore and 8a is approaching a rest

Super inspiring. Hopefully he doesn't stop at Northern Lights.... have to feel a bit sorry for Ondra though, that flash of Jade was the most awesome bit of climbing I've ever seen... until this!

It will be interesting to see if he tries with his original method for northern lights or adopts McClure line.

Don't think he'll want to make it any harder than it needs to be!

Fuck me he looks well scary. I can't be the only one that would be terrified bumping into him in a dark alley!
