I seem to remember reading that Steve Dunning got the first repeat by a Brit...

In reply to Brendan: I haven't listed all ascents, just some - as I don't know them all.

So you are quite probably right.

Looks like an awesome boulder.

In reply to Jack Geldard - Editor - UKC:

He almost makes this look like a formality!

I believe there may have been some hold improvement between this and the earlier ascents (it's "only" V14 now...). However, of all the videos on youtube, this is the "easiest" anyone has made it look.

What can we expect from this youth once he get's really strong??

In reply to orge:
That he'll get really heavy ?

Or discovery booze and girls?

It's not hurt Sharma or Graham...

Comment from the video.

"Man this kid is gonna take it to the next level as did Sharma for his generation. At this point, he is probably at the same or at least close to Sharma's level if not greater. This kid is gonna be the spear head to break open across the 5.16 difficulty."

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: That's some fine hyperbole.

In reply to TimS:

Maybe.

Quite amazing what Charlotte Durif (8b+ onsight), Ondra (multiple 9a's), Pete Whittaker (E9), Katy Whittaker (E7), George Ullrich (E8) and other teens are up to....and not forgeting 22 year old James Pearson.

In reply to Jack Geldard - Editor - UKC:

I wonder how his body copes with climbing so hard from such a young age? Does he suffer from injuries at all?
BTW, aye, he makes the problem look like V2.
