British alpinists Matt Helliker and Andy Perkins have made the autumn season's
first ascent of Beyond Good and Evil on the north face of the Pelerins above
Chamonix. They found excellent conditions on a route which probably hasn't formed properly for at least five years.
John and Mark were very discreet, doing phenomenal things and not telling a soul, so it wouldn't surprise me if locals had never heard about it, let alone repeated it!
Awesome to see a rare repeat of the full line. Twight is right to criticize teams that claim a tick of a named technical route while avoiding the crux pitches.

Just in the style of the climbing and the quality of the ice, Will.
Definitely not the same speed (some days on CK we just did 1 pitch).
And not the same level of suffering. I've grown out of that
