Awesome - well done Ellis. Sorry, you just missed the deadline for the guide. It is winging its way to the printers as I speak.

Well done Ellis.  A full vid and in daytime as evidence for the critics. Just needs some others to RP and confirm and settle the grade. 

So (from the vid and foreshortening) is it Cider Soak to the shake out then out left and up to the chains of Fisherman's?

Does that still leave Project 37, Project 38 (full height from ground not from up La Creme), Ferocity free (39) and Project 44 from Nick White's guide as the obvious (and final) challenges still left on the wall?

Christ the man climbs fast!

I've taken longer to fumble the rope into a draw...

Well done. D.

My thoughts exactly! A two year break, then he breezes up the route like it's a training run. Grrrr.
