Congratulations to Alexis. Job well done.

Excellent effort. I spent a while looking at that line and it's completely nails with non existent gear. Turns a weird route into a proud line

In reply to UKC News: looks cool. Good effort. Video anywhere?

In reply to Franco Cookson:

it's yet to make the long journey from camera to internet. don't expect anything clever- only the two of us there and neither of us had a hand free for filming. more for evidence than entertainment.

In reply to pezzerrr: still psyched to see it French grade been proposed?

In reply to UKC News: great name

In reply to pezzerrr:

That would be impressive - filming it on lead. Well done Alexis.

In reply to UKC News:
Awesome news, well done.

Congrats, chuck a few bolts in it now so we can all have a go eh?

As I said above, this isn't for entertainment. There are no muscle flexing close-ups, no groin shots, no sponsors' logos, no tear-jerking background story, no interview snippets, no power-screams...not even an 80's rock ballad soundtrack. Sorry.

If you want to speed the process up, ignore the first six mins as it is an entirely forgettable sequence of the gear getting put in.
