Just got it on the grapevine that Skye Wall (E7/8 6b/c) has had a 2nd ascent. Details sketchy but Charlie Woodburn is the name I got and believe it was the team's 3rd attempt.
Dave Birkett did the first ascent back in 2007 and I've heard tale of Tim Emmet amongst others who have had a look but presumably unsuccessful.
Fine effort folks; hope you've got some good footage? Look forward to hearing any feedback & any other routes you did.

Was Charlie, yes.

Amazing looking wall. Is there anything else on it? I imagine Birkett didn't go for the easiest line on the crag.

I'm sure he mentioned a great looking E4 on there at some point, which he may even have gone back and done. The SMC journal might help in that respect.

There are a few others but not on that part of the crag. Birkett went back for a *** E5 corner; there is also a *** E2 there (all in the new Skye guide).

Blatantly back-dated the news report to spite me!
