Not sure - unclesomebody was asking about this on the other thread too - I see you've submitted it as a new problem - I'll add it to the database as yours then if anyone else claims it was "done years ago by Ron" or something, I'll change it....

PS - why not give it a name?

I'd be very surprised if it had not already been done my someone like Jon Fulwood or Ben heason or Ron/Jason etc etc. In fact i would say theres a 98% chance its been done before.

Adam Lincoln on CT is saying Jamie Cassidy did it on 05.04.03 - is that before or after you Neil?

Ok, to clear this up, Jon Fulwood has emailed me back to say that Iain Farrar did this back in 1996, but the grade is confirmed at V10.

'Young' Iain Farrar did the traverse back around the same time I did Jetpack. Iain is a hermit and a technophobe so rarely records his efforts. I'll ask him for a name and grade this week.
