It looks like Craig Matheson is trying WA at the moment, there's  one tick on UKC, how many has it had now? I know Greg Chapman did it, so that's one :)

Only Greg that Im aware of (pretty sure that hidden UKC tick is him). I wonder whether Varian has had a tickle? I can imagine it hiding somewhere in that enormous ticklist of his.

old article mentions beta from Chris Davies, but doesn't say he's done it.

Where do Walk Away and the sit fit on the Gaskins Fantasy Index (where 1 is a reliably witnessed ascent and 0 is a complete fever dream)?

Nice scale. Do you allow for imaginary numbers??

I'd like to see a graded list of it all. It would be fun to watch Dan V et al arguing the toss about which ascents are more/less believable than others.

Fairly believable imo, given it's had repeats and seems to be in the right ball park grade wise. As far as Im aware the stuff with big question marks (shadowplay for example) generally hasn't had any repeats and seems completely whack grade wise.

The sit as well? Unrepeated, unwitnessed (I assume) and seemingly totally rank.

There is a nice Ray Wood picture of John on the sit in Boulder Britain 1. If memory serves, he is in the most outrageous position which broke my brain trying to understand how he got into or out of.

Hasn't Mike Adams done the stand too? I seem to remember reading somewhere that he was trying the sitter at one point. I am sure Blackpool Sam has put time into it too, but I am not sure whether he did it.

Does it? Didn't realise Sam's ascents were under question.

Training traverse boulder on dubious quality limestone, landscape orientation on Instagram and an excessive intro montage of failing, brushing and Makita-ing :punk:

I'm so proud.

You left out angling camera so climbing looks steeper than it is, but sea has a slope to it.

It's actually in Crete, the rock is similar to but definitely less good than Torbay limestone.

That's because Crete is closer to the equator so the horizon is more downhill.
I think the dodgy camera angling actually makes it look slabbier rather than steeper though!

Cheers Fiend  ;D

Genuinely didn't think this one would go this year but lucked out with conditions between showers. It is one of three or four king-lines in a new area I'm developing. I was reticent about putting it up on-line as its still a work in progress but a few close friends and i have been really struggling this year battling through depression/anxiety etc etc and this was one to be thankful for.

Get yer arse north and i will show you about :)
