Great send, well done Dave. Also really interesting article, made a very enjoyable read. Always good to keep getting proof that I'm not too old to try hard routes too. (no comment on whether I'm too weak and fat however...)
The laugh out loud moment for me was "It was good to see that [Steve] didn't hit the ground,", like hitting the ground is a fairly standard thing in (hard) climbing but it was a nice surprise that it didn't happen this time!
Yeah, yeah, I know I see meanings that aren't there but it's a good way to keep myself entertained ;D
