Bristol based climber Hazel Findlay has yesterday succeeded on the Dave Birkett E9 Once Upon a Time in the South West.
Hazel's ascent comes just days after the route received it's second ascent at the hands of Charlie Woodburn.
The route is a huge slab to the left of the infamous line of The Walk of Life at Dyer's Lookout in Devon.
More detailed report to follow.
Well done Charlie and Hazel!
