Good effort.
Amazing! This route has always seemed the stuff of utter horror.

Amazing and bold. Just interesting to see/hear his friend who looked so young yomped up it, now James does it, wearing back protector, 2 x belayers, one on each rope, but in reality do either of these things make it less precarious, different times, same consequence if stuffed up. Great to see. Well done James.
From the comfort of my armchair I’ve always thought that route is the ultimate in in bold gritstone horrors and there was nothing in that video to change my mind.
That top-out made me feel slightly nauseous.
