At 9a surely it is one of the hardest routes rather than "likely to be"?

Spicy moments for he cameraman towards the end. The crack to the left looks pretty cool too.

Pete´s the Duracell bunny of arm stamina. Hang competition against 7 highly trained parkour athletes above cold canal water, enjoy: https://youtu.be/eppVeRDkClg?si=70b5sPEvI7UTDedu

Well worth watching some of the other stuff the Storrors get up to, especially their collaborations with Pete (challenge: jump between two parallel brick walls with a 180 degree turn in the air, and land in a vertical hand jam and nothing else, etc ...). Pete´s been teaching Toby (last man hanging, previous Ninja Warrior winner) to climb; Toby´s first Gritstone lead was then Tom Thumb (E2 5c) ...
