> (In reply to UKC Articles) Strange how in the video he goes from using quarks, and then suddenly by the summit he has nomics Must be footage from separate ascents.
And the bit where he gains a big hanging arete is not (I am pretty sure) even on the 1938 route- looks like it might be on the Scottish Pillar. It makes me wonder where the close up of the mixed corner was actually filmed! This part is clearly nowhere near as steep as it first made to appear; it looks like he is pulling up on tenuous hooks, but then it becomes clear he is pretty much in balance.
I take my hat off to him if the actual ascent was done truly alone (like his solo of the Colton/Mcintyre) without a helicopter in attendance, but I would expect it to be acknowledged if the footage is staged afterwards. I am taking nothing away from his achievement, but, having felt slightly sick on first viewing the video, I now feel rather disappointed.
