The line was previously bolted and the minimal protection used by Franco to free the route included micro tricams, micro wires and a skyhook.

Franco's previous new routes have often been a topic for debate and a heartfelt "open letter" has already been penned urging him to "Test [himself] on the creations of others" and to "Go try the benchmarks. Get the evidence and the doubters will be proven wrong."

Awesome. Well done Franco for flying the flag for the Moors.

Kay Nest now holds an 8B+ boulder problem and an E10 trad route, where else can say that?

Burbage North before The Promise (E8 7a) got downgraded. Maybe this one will stand the test of time better...?
