It does make me laugh, when you are young you can still think "im gona be that good when im older", then you realise that actually all the guys who are tearing it up are now your age or younger.....

In reply to UKC News: Brilliant, in such a short space of time. Did he start climbing in November or move to the UK in November?

In reply to Brunel Sport Monkey:

Ha, you're only 21 mate!!

In reply to deacondeacon: I believe he moved to the UK in November - from where I am not too sure.

It's a great effort. Go Ed!

What's "The Pocket" at Raven Tor?

I'm pretty sure I saw this guy and his brother on the Sissy last summer

Well done to him.

In reply to UKC News: Very impressive. Well done. But dodgy reporting here. So how long has Edward been climbing for in total?

In reply to Jack Geldard - Editor - UKC:

He should be taken out and shot

I've now got that bloody song going through my head, along with strange visions of day-glo pantaloons

What's worse is this lad wasn't even born then !!

In reply to Tyler: I sure I saw him rip Raindog's to bit's. Well not literally, but he made it look rather straight forward. IIRC he had a crap sequence, poor footwork and stupidly strong arms.

In reply to andy farnell:

I do hope he made use of the undercut mono sequence I managed to blinker my way through

Ed is a nice guy and a beast in the cave, props.

In reply to Richard Hession: He came across as a nice lad. Stoopidly strong, but nice.

In reply to Ackbar: I have updated the report with a more clear description, he has been climbing for 4 years.

Cheers
