On Sunday Adam Lincoln made what's probably the second ascent of Cool Moon at Curbar without the side runners. The grade with side runners is E6 6c; without, E7 6c. (That was first done by Thomas de Gay, who soloed it in 1998.) After his headpoint [so, not quite E7 - UKC Ed.] Adam said: "The line isn't the most striking but the moves are brilliant."
Then, having watched Adam on it, Ryan Pasquil went on to flash it.
