At the time of the first ascent Dave did not offer a grade but he's later said it could be around E10 [1]. ### References [1] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJWAzUOvDEI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJWAzUOvDEI)

*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. 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]. ### References [1] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJWAzUOvDEI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJWAzUOvDEI)

On the grade: > 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.
