Well that's what I was wondering, but it seems he was referring to a tree that Ethan PRINGLE cut down in the States.

PRINGLE ...mmmmmmm pringles must get addictive tube of crisps!

Fantastic job with the climbing mind, looks challenging

You guys might want to get the actual name of the American climber right who cut down the tree.

You're absolutely right Adam. It was Ethan's mate, Joe Kinder. Some amazing sideways leaps from Ethan Walker climbing a route at Raven Tor!

You say he leaped from a tree onto the route. By doing did he miss out the crux? I don't think he can claim the grade even if it was just an easy bit he missed out.

I guess we never did find out who chopped the Raven Tor one?

Good effort Ethan WALKER.
