Tom has written about his return to climbing after a difficult period in his life on his blog here: Tom Peckitt Blog.

Tom commented on the blog:

"The Uncertainty Principle isn't my hardest first ascent but it is certainly one of my proudest; not only for the climbing and the stunning line but what I have overcome and experienced over the last year to get here. So, after all the trials and tribulations of the last 18 months, I feel a stronger person...more mentally than physically at the moment. Life is always changing. Sometimes it deals you a winning hand, sometimes a losing one. One thing is for sure - uncertainty is certain."

As I said before, well done Tom and great write up. As an aside: It shows the general state of news reporting on here that the FA has do his own news report for it to appear. Would have been nice to have seen reports for the numerous other high-end UK boulder problems climbed in recent months reported on here too.

I know, what are all those UKC reporters doing with their time, they're paid to go out and get stories.......

It's not so difficult: all the UKC reporters have to do is check Greg's excellent compilation of hard (>8A) first ascents, http://www.eliteukbinventory.blogspot.co.uk . The hard work has already been done!
