A true E8 onsight?

Yes it true, an amazing display of mind control by Neil, thin sustained moves on dubious rock looking at a potentially fatal fall from this position, plus it was far too windy. As Nick Bullock said (he was belaying and has done the route)there's no way I'd have set off on that route in those conditions. Holding the camera still to film was near impossible god knows how he hung round on those tiny holds....

I heard that Dougie Hall also made an impressive ground up (possibly onsight) ascent of this route about 15 years ago!

just watched the film, fantastic by the way!! and got to say this is an unbelievable achievement.
