Wow, that was brilliant! Fair to say that bloke's pretty fit then. I love the way he gives a complete rundown of the gear he uses as if we're all gonna be rushing out to try it ;-) Only slightly disappointed that he didn't top out.

Yeah, I really like the rundown. Looks like he could've saved a LOT of weight though if he tried though - he uses chain linked big fat sport draws and tapes, and really thick nylon extenders. I'm sure it would probably make a big difference at the grade of 5.14a.

gripping and impressive, not too much gear and bloody hard climbing on some of the best sandstone

looks tenuous as well as pumpy, I just love his southern deadpan drawl at the start
