Real shame a few more runners didn't appear as we'd be looking at the UK's hardest onsight new route by a country mile. The ground-up attempt was very impressive.

Awesome. I remember looking at that face from seeing pics of Skye Wall ascents and thinking there was a whole lot of hard climbing to be had on it.

Bransby and I also bagged a three-pitch line on Skye wall at E3/4. Only one new pitch but links all the big features to give a high quality way up the wall with barely a 6a move.
