Absolute waddage. This is the third ascent, right?

"I wasn't pumped and it had felt like a path."

Words we can all relate to. :look:

Only route down there he hasn’t done. Too fat.

Photo credit on the UKC news item goes to Hot Aches so sounds likely?

I don’t think the pictures on the UKC article are from yesterday- she’s wearing different coloured clothes in the post-send clip on Angus Kille’s Instagram story.

I'm particularly enjoying how pretty much everyone in the UK climbing scene is posting this on social media, except Emma herself.

Interview

Film to come from BMC TV.

Grimer’s Jamcrack podcast is great if you’ve not listened to it already.

Really? I tried but after my half hour cycle to work they were still talking about how good at school her brother was so I never got on to any climbing.

Grimer, this is an explicit comment about editing.
