Hardest route repeat 13-Apr-2005 At 9:56:05 PM Onsight

That’s precisely right Breezy (as usual).

Another superb job by Lee. Great to see him firing at the moment.

Yeah, try a bucketful of salt. Second shot on the day perhaps – but don’t bother to mention all the other days (weeks?) he’d spent on it beforehand, or anything, eh Ben.

The route has also had a repeat by Zac. Anyway, given that this is THE test-piece at one of the most popular and most accessible hard sport crags in the country, it’s actually telling that it hasn’t seen more repeats before now. Certainly not because of lack of trying by some. So yeah, I don’t think history will prove this route to be soft in any way.

It’s sad that you seem to feel the need to unjustifiably put Garths (and others?) achievements down Ben. And you haven’t even climbed the route! Throwing-stones in glass-houses (again)?
