A massive undertaking and a great achievement. And what a day for it!

In reply to UKC News: Well done Tom! A cracking account of his summer round here: http://www.w-o-w.com/ARTICLES/ramsay-round/

Also great account of Shane Ohly's winter round and attempt here: http://www.shaneohly.com/articles/2012/02/01/Charlie_Ramsay_Winter_Round_At... . The 2008 round makes particularly good reading.

Hi Tom "Well done"

In reply to UKC News: Nice one Tom.

In reply to UKC News: Great one, almost no moon as well so that would have made the night sections doubly hard. I think Tom's done 4 rounds in not much over a year.. fairly sure he did his Paddy to make it 3 in the year.. then this..

In reply to IainRUK:

The mind, as they say, boggles. Nails.

... Still - in the best tradition of this site - I can't help but ask what has he done on grit?

In reply to Clauso: In fact it could be two years.. maybe it was last summer I helped on his paddy.. I'm not sure now..

In reply to IainRUK:

Time flies! This is my first round this year. My last round was the Paddy last July.

In reply to UKC News: That is fantastic... well done.

In reply to Clauso:

I first started climbing with Tom in the Lancashire quarries and can confirm he's not bad at all :0)
