Eddie you legend! It seems like you too are not one to die from falling off an E10.

In reply to UKC News: Brilliant photo. It's going on my desktop.

In reply to Brendan:

yeah great pic....just curious if he's climbing on a single rope, or doubles with one strand hidden around the corner? if the former it looks pretty bold, with what 3-4 pieces of gear!

In reply to Morgan Woods:

Also curious is the strand of rope visible at the top of the picture.

In reply to GrahamD:

might just be the ab/top rope pulled out of the way. anyway i had a look at committed last night and Dave Mac does it on a single so i imagine this guy is too.

In reply to Morgan Woods:

Almost certainly is an ab rope - just a shame it shows up in an otherwise totally stunning picture and its one of those things that, once noticed, can't be ignored.
