Earlier this month, 17-year-old Tony Musselbrook made a swift and stylish ascent of Chimaera at High Rocks on the East Sussex/Kent border.

Since Dave Turner’s first ascent in the dry summer of 1990, only James Pearson had succeeded on the route.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:

Living where he does (20 miles east of Dover) Tony has become increasingly frustrated by his distance from real rock. With some relief he has finished A-levels and will soon move on. He said: “I am moving to Sheffield in October and I have a massive ticklist! I've still got comps on my to-do list as well. Basically i just want to go climbing, next year, and the next, and the one after that for ever and ever!”

Err - 20 miles east of Dover is the English Channel and France.

20 Miles north of Dover is Margate.
