As mentioned on the forums yesterday, Dave Pickford (28) of Bristol climbed a major new route at Bosigran on May 20th, adding to his recent success at Pembroke when he climbed The Brothers Karamazov E9 6c.

Teahupo’o weighs in at E8 7a.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

Just as a point of interest concerning the "knife-blade peg", on this route.

I think it needs clarifying whether this peg was in situ, or whether it was placed by Dave. I'm assuming that it is a hammered peg. If it was placed by Dave, then is it considered acceptable to hammer pegs on British sea cliffs these days?

Personally, I consider that modern new routes established on sea cliffs using fixed iron-mongery are a bit meaningless as it won't actualy be possible to repeat such routes in a similar style due to the rapid deteriation of the fixed gear.

This must be an awesome route as it is a striking line. I've looked up at it many times thinking what a stunning route it would be if it didn't have a huge and completely blank section in it! Nice one Dave

The thread (one of two) started about this yesterday:

would suggest that it is the line running up and right to join Kafoozalem.
