Title: New E9 at Wimberry
Post by: Wood FT on September 25, 2013, 08:54:51 am: Last Friday Nathan Lee of the Lee dynasty completed his project, putting up the first ascent of 'unknown stones'. It takes the blank space between appointment with fear and appointment with death at a grade of "at least E9 6c", good going Nat!
