Bloody hell! He seems pretty unstoppable at the mo. He never appears to be injured either! Some people have all the luck!

Wow.

Found a video of Matt Wilder doing it. Looks fingery.

It is....and rather steep too. Very little in the way of foot holds either apart from a large scoop at the beginning. I guess that's why it gets the grade it does. Chris Sharma does it in 'Free Hueco' a great movie.

Re-defining waddage for 2k6!

Thing about Graham too, he always looks so cheerful and psyched, get a good vibe from him on videos at least.

On the subject of which good to see the problem in action, good line although looks pretty evil climbing!

Dave is ace. He is the most psyched man you could hope to meet. He is keen for whatever is going down whether its 8b or 6a. A genuinely nice chap.
