Talking of Richard Simpson.
After spending the last three days in wales, making use of ok conditions,
he made the second ascent of the Caseg Groove Sit down Given V12 in about 30 minutes making it look about V8, when asked what he thought about the grade he laughed, smiled and said something like, they always feel easy when you do them perhaps im just climbing well or maybe im not, awesome problem though. This was after spending 1 hour on Diesel roof another hour on Pool of Bethesda which he came so so close to repeating untill a nasty flapper occurred from the sharp porthole and running a few laps on Jerrys roof the same day this beeng something stupid like his 5th day on.
The next day after feeling very tired and with possibly the most fucked skin ive ever seen, he repeated The Spoon machine V11 at the Pac man boulders after spending about 20 minutes on the problem again laughing and mentioning something about getting fed up of climbing V11's i wish we could all say that. This boys on fire ive never seen anything like it, he's off to Siurana soon to tick some 8c's and a load of 8B's He says casually.
Check out the Boys scorecard on Cragx.com he's only 19 and sent his first V11 just 7 months ago, What a joke
