Dave MacLeod has climbed Gutbuster (8B+) at Dumbarton, originally put up by Malcolm Smith in September 2008. Dave first began trying the problem in 2007, although moved to the highlands shortly after. The problem climbs a link section across a roof into Sanction (8B).

Typo in there I think. Pretty sure Dave is now 40, not 30.

Always inspiring for the rest of us in our 40s when top climbers of a similar age are climbing as hard as ever.

In reply to The Ex-Engineer:

You probably misread it - it says he first attempted it in 2007 (when he was 30) and failed, but changes to lifestyle and nutrition have "...helped him to outclimb his 30-year-old self."

In reply to The Ex-Engineer:

The sentence talks about how Dave managed to climb harder than his 30-year-old self.

Cheers. Makes sense now.

A 'separated shoulder' in September, then back on an 8b+ in November?

 

I want some of what Dave has
