In reply to full stottie:

Outstanding natural beauty, bolts, Red Bull etc.

Oh, I already did that.

In reply to full stottie:

That looks great to climb.

In reply to full stottie:

Shocking....

In reply to full stottie:

"Transscending"??

In reply to Pete Dangerous:


In trainers wasn't it?

In reply to I'd rather be climbing:

Because it was raining. I aways climb in my trainers when it rains.

In reply to I'd rather be climbing:


I can't remember. I was too drunk.

In reply to full stottie:

Would be great to find out more. Is it a mixture of trad and sport? Did it require a huge amount of preparation? Who prepared it? How long did it take? How many pitches? Etc, etc.

The logistics of climbing something so continuously overhanging seem mind-boggling.

Sharma always appears a slightly enigmatic figure. You can understand him wanting to retain his privacy. Glowacz really has 'the eye of the tiger' and no mistake.

Oh well, back to the Ordinary Route on the Idwal Slabs for this shameless punter. But we can all dream. And sometimes it's good to dream.

By the looks of it, an amazing effort.

You beat me too it, I was wondering how they prepared the route.

Daily Telegraph is promoting the video on their online page as "Pair complete hardest climb on earth".
