Will Sim, Jon Griffith, New Route on Grand Montets Ridge

© Jon Griffith
18 year old Cumbrian-based climber Will Sim and UKClimbing.com's gear reviewer Jon Griffith climbed a new route on the Grand Montets Ridge of Aiguille Verte last Friday, 26th September. The as yet unamed 450m route takes mixed ground with technical M6 climbing.

The next day the pair made a quick ascent of the classic north face route, the Ginat on Les Droites.

I became completely obsessed with climbing when I was about 11, and it has been getting me out of bed every day since then! I’d describe myself as a rock climber who gets lured into bigger and bigger adventures...

Ha! Its my distinctive sexy hat and helmet combo...though it is a right pain when it slips over my eyes (obviously). Will is a very talented young climber and is one to watch out for hopefully. He spent alot of time dragging Mr Ripley up routes last winter as well as alot of quick solos back home in anticipation for his trip out here. Jon
