In reply to Baron Weasel: It's good footage and will hopefully get more people to Jordan. However he isn't the first person to solo it; that was Albert Precht in 1997 on his 50th birthday.

Am I missing something, why was he carrying all that protection and what looked like a really long accessory cord

Believe he self belayed some sections, to be fair to him he shows this and explains it in the footage.

It's a funny one to grade because there are a few drilled pegs at the insecure and quite hard crux section on the top pitch. Might feel about E2, but pulling on the gear (often done?) probably makes it HVS.
