In reply to abarro81:
Congrats on the second ascent. Very well done.
I get the news angle on Aiden's ascent. But I disagree that the second ascent is not newsworthy. Freakshow is one of the hardest new sport routes done in the UK this year so the second ascent is far more newsworthy than, for instance, when some Brits do the umpteenth ascent of some 8c abroad (which sometimes gets covered in the news). The opinion of second ascenionists is also valuable as its the first 'impartial' opinion about a route and so they're in a unique position to confirm or disconfirm the grade, nature of the route etc.
I think its also interesting because your repeat comes so soon after the first ascent. How long did it take you, how hard do you think it is and any other thoughts about the route? Cheers.
