In reply to UKC News: Top effort. Hazel's successes in N. America looked superb, but I did wonder how they compare to UK routes. It seems that in recent years lots of Brit climbers have broken into the top-end E-grades on short and tenuous grit routes, and I imagine that if your thing is 40 mtrs of Squamish or Indian Creek fingertip jamming the change would be quite marked! So big, pumpy Pembroke routes make a lot of sense.

Well done to Ms Findlay again.

Just to confirm did she lead it as Mawson did or DWS it ?
Effort either way of course.

She must have had a busy day. I'm sure I saw her at the Leap on the Monday as well.

Word is she led it - ie physically harder / mentally easier.
