Amazing stuff.

Also worth re-celebrating Nalle’s effort establishing such an incredible line in the first instance.

Death from 10', I don't think so.

But I know what you mean, would it have counted if he'd stood up over the lip, totally on the slab, and slipped off the icy stuff at the top - INCOMPLETE 🤣🤣

I expect his ice axes and crampons would make short work of that.

I’m psyched to see the video, surely the top-out is going to be the most exciting part!

Yeah! And a relatively long time ago too.
