fantastic clip. read the interview first not realising the audio was on the video.. would have been better left off. great to see such an iconic route.

Agreed, reminds you how world class Malham is. Though I was surprised at how close to the final hard move the chain was - have never seen anyone on Cry Freedom before.

Its heroic the way him (and Naomi) have kept the faith turning up at Malham this year whatever the conditions and cranking it out.

He deserves to get the big one. Can't be far off now..
