Amazing. Simply amazing. That is undoubtedly one of the best pieces of climbing footage I've seen. I've watched countless videos from all over the world, where some big numbers are thrown about. But they don't come remotely close to how nails that looks. Bravo Dan, and bravo Nick as well. Mint!

I was going to say that I wished there was a bit more in the way of banter or chat from Dan on the vid, you know, tell a bit of the story and shit.

And I can't believe he frenchstarted it! Back around. ::)

Fuck, it's a drop-off!?  Still awesome and everything but I found that end a bit disappointing after all the spiel about the line.  Is there really no way to top it out?

It joins a horrible sandy, but easy, top out of an E4 at that point which i would guess hasn't been done for 20 years and will be pretty covered in heather.

It really wouldnt add anything at all to the problem and probably better left to nature.

Exactly Gav, would be steady from there but sandy and scruffy ..... an awesome problem up to the  break, superb effort by Dan. I thought the video was superb too, summed up the  story with some great images.  Sit start from the Sting would be a good addition.

ooh... maybe in twenty years or so I'll get to watch a video of someone doing it sit start to top out.  :)
