Impressive stuff - to me the sections of the traverse (I have no designs on the whole thing ) feel much easier once you have the beta, doing it straight off is amazing.

Just noticed that Steve was born in 1970, not bad for a 40 year old!
In reply to UKC News: Pretty impressive, visited this crag for the first time on Saturday and loved it.
