James McHaffie soloed 100 Lakes E grade climbs on 23 June racking up an incredible 160 E points. Thought I would mention it just in case it had got missed. He was inspired by Ron Fawcetts 100 E's on Grit in a day.

It says 100 in "a day" but the way I read it, he appears to have started late and knocked off early to go to the pub. I expect he could have done a couple more routes if he'd been fit enough to keep going for the full 24 hours. Perhaps he'll train and come back fitter for another go. I imagine we could see the record pushed as high as 105 in a full day.

Slacker.

given that Lakes routes are longer than grit routes and generally harder to get to I reckon that he could knock off 200 odd grit routes easy
