Good effort Ellis, but two corrections:

- Ellis is 18
- I believe one of the 8b onsights is actually called "Cuchills for your Fingers"

Two points:

-Ellis is 18 now but was 17 for the first half of the trip.
-The first 8b which Ellis onsighted is called "Cuchills for your Finguers" and not what EdGS, so the information in the article is correct

Are you sure about the name of the route?
These websites seem to think it is indeed "Cuchills for your Fingers" and not "Chuchills for your Finguers":

In reply to billb: In all seriousness though, great effort from the Devon lad....now it's down to the real business of liberating one of those Ferocity projects.

Are you having a laff Edgs,17 or 18 this is a tick list we would all dream of!!!! Maybe as a local lad yourself you should support his efforts rather than be a nit picking nob of butter! When you reach the grades Ellis has maybe you will get the same praise 😉
