Flippin heck, beast! I didn't know he'd done Serenata too - has that been reported previously? If not, I can't believe its a small part of the news article! Or is it a mistake and is supposed to be Serenade?
In reply to ben davison:

Definitely Serenata. Although I think Voyager eclipses this in terms of significance and line.

So good, nice one Ned. Looks like it was filmed too, psyched to see some footage.

7B into the start of Voyager stand...??
In reply to DTurner:

It's roughly what Ned and Tom Newman thought...

All physical impressiveness aside, I know that all climbing is really contrived, and the achievement a product of the human condition, but sit starts just seems really, really silly.

Isn't the stand start a bit of a jump? If so is the sit start not the less contrived?
