Out of interest with Golden Shadow, is it common practice to get a heel toe on the "lean to block" at the top...if this is the done thing, its pretty weird.....kinda like the rules are "you can use the back block but only with your heels at the top". Obviously I'm sure this is utterly brick however you climb it and an amazing achievement!
Tom Newman did Cypher today. Maybe not significant by current international standards, however he is the second person (after DV) to do all of the 5 hard gritstone boulders. (High Fids, Ace, Voyager, Rhythm and cypher). AWESOME, well done Tom

Pretty cool to see, so worth mentioning, that 3/5 of those boulders saw ascents yesterday. The Ace (Orrin Coley), Rhythm (David Mason) and Cypher (Tom Newman). Well done to the three of them, good day on the grit!
Yeah sorry about that. Got a bit over excited. Going to try to turn it down next time.
Amazing effort loon.
