Quite old new but I haven't seen any mention on here yet. TC puts up two new V12s at Castle Hill.

 I remember watching original gigantilope Seb Lowenstein getting pretty close to doing this on my visit over there.

Sounds like TC's been making a bit of an impact from those news reports.

Tim is a sound bloke, and one of the strongest climbers I've ever seen in action. He limpet.

That project that TC is climbing in the photos has been a project so damned long the wall is even name "project wall".  Seriously hard since as someone mentioned earlier, Seb has been trying it for years and we know how fuckin tall and strong Seb is.  An outstanding effort that.

TC also flashed Cuba V9 while over there, which is yet another excellent effort.  Sounds like he cleaned up, just wish I was still living over there to have watched the projects come crashing down. :(
