Alex Honnold - Masters Edge On Sight & London Wall O/S Solo

© Alex Messenger
Alex Honnold, one of the visiting American climbers, currently rampaging across the Peak District, has continued his gritstone demolition with an impressive on-sight solo of the classic E5 finger crack London Wall at Millstone and an on-sight ascent of Masters Edge (E7 6b), also at Millstone, reports Matt Heason on the UKC forums.

Alex is known for his bold on-sight ascents and has soloed some seriously impressive routes in the US. In the recent film 'The Sharp End' he steals the show with an audacious on-sight of a huge, soaring sandstone arĂȘte in the Czech Republic.

Would have thought they have at least had a look at it? They really have taken the grit by the short and curlies. Can't wait for the video (although maybe it will all look too easy?).

The onsight solo of London Wall is one of the finest things they did this trip. Up there with the solo of Wellington Crack!
