Wow .... Good effort Tom .... It looked pretty damned scary at the top out

Well done and nice video.

Haven't been out climbing for years but I'll never forget that familiar look on Tom's face at the end of the route - the one that says I got a bit more than I was expecting there.

Those boys sure love placing their skyhooks! And his face at the end... we've all been there! Falling not really an option, vertical progress seeming unlikely

Such an amazing piece of climbing on an outstanding face. Fantastic.

Tom, it's pronounced "eye-lamb". I told you this, no one will know where you're on about otherwise ;p

Perfectly timed flypast from an RAF Hurcules

What are the routes like for mere mortals here? The Wong Edge and the The Gladiator for example. Looks a lovely piece of rock but its a bit of a trek for me (and has an hours walk in!).

It's nowhere near an hour to walk in, more like 25 mins and flat.

The E1 up the right arete is reasonably good, and there are other good low E-grade routes in the valley.
