15-year-old Toby Roberts has climbed Rainshadow 9a at Malham Cove, becoming the youngest Brit to climb the grade in the process. Toby is a GB Junior Climbing Team member and was European Youth Boulder Champion and placed 2nd in the European Youth Lead Championships last year (UKC News).

Well done Toby and Josh, its been really inspiring seeing you both trying so hard and encouraging and supporting each other at the crag. Especially with the poor conditions and short days and lateness of the season. A really mature and professional effort particularly as you are both so young, the future of GB Climbing looks bright in your hands.

Bloody hell, that's impressive.

bet it's cold up north too !

Serious efforts driving from London (I assume) to have a project at Malham! 

Impressive for the climbing, training required and motivation to travel such a long way regularly.

Big up to Tobys dad for helping his son realise his potential so far. And providing flasks of tea.

TJB.

Wow! So so so impressive. Well done to you both lads. 

Wowzers!

Awesome stuff!

Extremely impressive! 

Congratulations and well done young Toby! 

Great to see a young La Sportiva athlete climbing a very hard and brilliant route.
