Not sure but but I think he probably inspected it on the rope first. I can remember a few years back it being news when somebody (Andy Earl???) managed to do a ground up ascent ... makes me think it hadn't been done like that before.

I dont quite ODH's pad aversion. As far as I see it they've turned a lot of what would have been shitty 8 meter routes into excellent boulder problems. I would be pleased to see someone trying to boulder out something like serpentine or groove train over a big bouncey rubber castle and (as long as they werent trashing the bush) I cant understand how how anyone might think that wasn't an exciting thing to try and attempt. It only gets lame for me if having done the ascent they pretending the bouncey rubber castle wasnt there. Stephan Glowacz solo of kachoong with the big safety net just out of shot is an example that springs to mind.
