Wow brilliant, total commitment what a climber! (I wonder if that's Bear Grylls chalk on the crux?).

go dave that looks tuff

Wow, every single move of the crux looks unimaginably tiring... yet he keeps going AND places gear?! Chills out on the tiniest of tiny ledges with no gear in sight below him. Then proceeds to tackle some of the most exposed, overhanging, gritty trad climbing you could ever wish to see.

Amazing!

I'm not sure I should technically be sharing it due to the language, but what's the worst that could happen - I get banned from the UKC Forums?

I'll take that risk
