Really really impressive. 

Emma's interviewer with Grimer on Jam Crack podcast was great and mentioned her efforts on this route. If folks are interested:

I always imagined this route would actually have the sharpest holds on planet earth. What with LPT being known for savagely sharp stuff on even the easier stuff. 9a, LPT, notoriously sharp crux. We must be talking cut throat razor blade sharp. Ouch. 

Well done!

Very impressive. Well done Emma.  

Does anyone know what happened to Neil Carson? Does the UK's first 9a (if you don't count Hubble), crushes in Yorkshire and then seemingly disappears.

Amazing effort.  To think she is a fellow Cumbrian too.  I wish my daughter could get to see what Emma has achieved to maybe spark that love of sport climbing.  Emma, if you ever need a support team to cheer you on, please let me know.  Bravo
