Blimey...that's not a bad (less than a) week's work is it?

That video is a real case of the maxim that "good climbers make hard climbs look easy", watching that you'd think that Font 8a was a piece of piss!

yup, it was only ten days ago I was looking at Big Dragon thinking fuuuuck that looks nails - seemed so easy for JW I started to doubt I was looking at the right problem. Like that they downgraded all the hard stuff but had Big Jim at 7A+  ;D

I'd take 7A+ for Big Jim. The climbing isn't anywhere near that hard but it would mean it would be the equal hardest problem I've done in font...  ;D

It's either a typo or he's climbing so far above this on a scale of difficulty that it fell into the easy catagory of 5+ to 7c  :-\
 (I struggle to tell the difference between a 3+ and a 4)

I think it's great that all these strong kids are going to font and crushing, that video makes me want to get stronger!

A few years ago it seemed like font was being ignored by Woods, Robinson et al, but most of them seem to have passed through and made a good account of themselves now.  I wonder if Tyler's visit opened the floodgates somewhat?

god knows what would have happened if he stayed for the whole time he was meant to, originally he was meant to stay for a month but had to fly home due to some issues back there, he climbed a lot more things than just in the vid as well :(

Apparently this (Blog entry "Something from the archives.... Part 2) is archive footage of Dave Graham on the first ascent.

...of The Story of Two Worlds. Released 8 years after the ascent.

dai starts with both hands down for the low one, it might not seem like much but it seemed to require lots of swapping toehooks to get established on the sit.

That's dais low start to the story. The story starts where dave started, obviously, but isn't this where dai started when he first did the story?
