I watched this ascent in stunned silence.....awesome to see and just an "OK" from her when she got to the top, and was quietly lowered off!

I saw Maddy in the earlier stages of working this route. Her footwork was immaculate. Stood and watched for ages. Everything she did was done quietly and confidently with no drama at all. Very impressive to watch.

Excellent news and really well done Maddy. I hope you liked the route as I did back in 89. Keep up the good work and carry on enjoying the delights of climbing.

Congrats

Mark
