In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

Watching the vid I asked my self, so why is it E9? Looked like you won't deck it from the hard sequence below the peg, gear looked OK, climbing looked tough, but not THAT tough...


Then again E9 is this years grade that simply everybody is climbing so hey...must be E9 ; )

Peace,

In reply to Craig Smith:

As I understand it the peg was psychological only.
Only in a couple of centimetres and downward facing.
And there were still a couple of hard moves after it, above a boulder beach fall.

End of the Affair has one 6C move above a ground fall and it's E8.
