Title: Toru rips it up
Post by: Tommy on August 20, 2009, 09:55:17 am: As of yesterday, young Japanese warrior Toru climbed the right arete of the Simba's Pride block. Looks to be about E9 6c and in the world of Burbage aretes, another desperate and get-your-balls-out affair! Waddage to the boy.

And Nik - just for you I put him on Nik's Wall (in the interests of scientific research of course!) on a hot sweaty day and he was making pretty good progress...

Pete Whit has some photos and footage of the new route so I'm sure it'll appear somewhere, sometime!

UKB vote: keep him on Nik's Wall or The Tor.....? ;D
