Dave Birkett has repeated John Dunne's E10 7a route on Tophet Wall on Great Gable. The line tackles the steep wall between Supernatural and Incantations, and above the traverse of Tophet Wall. Dave has not commented on the grade yet.
Excellent news. I was just wondering the other day when any of Dunne's testpieces would get repeated. And lo, there one goes. We really need some comment from Davey B about it....
Probably unlikely I guess - Dave Birkett was at Kilnsey on Saturday (not just a trad man!) and I was talking to a guy I know who mentioned that he'd repeated it. I asked what he thought of grade and it appears at as man of few words he didn't say much at all.
