<p>I need to have no thoughts in my head at all but I couldn't help myself looking over to Claire filming. I felt I only just had enough strength left for the crux but I knew I could fall as well. I could accept that risk but it felt really hard to be sure at that moment with Claire there to see the outcome.</p>

<p>On the grade:</p>

<p>Do you see my problem? I am uncomfortable with the feeling of grades advancing too quickly due to overgrading, but on the other hand feel that Echo Wall might well earn a laughable quanta of E points over anything else I’ve done, based on the way the E scale has been used traditionally over the past couple of decades. I just don’t know. [1]</p>

<p><em>Echo Wall</em> is a hard trad climb located high on Ben Nevis and established by <a href="/climber/146/dave-macleod">Dave MacLeod</a> in July 2008. It is an incredibly bold route, featuring climbing around french 8c in a position where you can't afford to fall off.</p>
<p>In training for his ascent, Dave famously soloed <a href="/climb/555/darwin-dixit">Darwin Dixit</a> 8b+ in <a href="/crag/27268/margalef">Margalef</a>, one of the hardest solos in the world at the time.</p>
<p>At the time of the first ascent Dave did not offer a grade but he's later said it could be around E10 [1].</p>

<p>The route's location high on Ben Nevis necessitates some tricky tactics to make the most of the fleeting season. While working on the first ascent Dave Macleod would hike to the top of the route and shovel massive amounts of snow off the top of the route to minimise the amount of snow melt and maximise the number of days he could spend working the route over the season.</p>

*Echo Wall* is a hard trad climb located high on Ben Nevis and established by [Dave MacLeod](/climber/146/dave-macleod) in July 2008. It is an incredibly bold route, featuring climbing around french 8c in a position where you can't afford to fall off.
The route's location high on Ben Nevis necessitates some tricky tactics to make the most of the fleeting season. While working on the first ascent Dave Macleod would hike to the top of the route and shovel massive amounts of snow off the top of the route to minimise the amount of snow melt and maximise the number of days he could spend working the route over the season.
In training for his ascent, Dave famously soloed [Darwin Dixit](/climb/555/darwin-dixit) 8b+ in [Margalef](/crag/27268/margalef), one of the hardest solos in the world at the time.
At the time of the first ascent Dave did not offer a grade but he's later said it could be around E10 [1].
