In the context of his other claims there is doubt around this ascent, however his belayer [Dan Tounley](/climber/1086/dan-tounley) has been contacted (by [Chris Doyle](/climber/220/chris-doyle)) and has confirmed the ascent: > Yes, I can confirm Rich done these routes [[Liquid Ambar](/climb/66/liquid-ambar), [Hubble](/climb/5/hubble)] as I belayed him. Makes me laugh that people are doubting him. I tried to log on to U.K Climbing website when I read about the story but unfortunatly my schools sever wouldn't let me (I am in Thailand). Maybe people will stop doubting him now! Maybe he upset someone, I know he can be an arrogant little twat sometimes!!! [1] [Simon Lee](/climber/1098/simon-lee) has separately been in touch with Dan to confirm the ascent.

All ascents widely disputed due to a lack of evidence for any of his hard ascents (mysterious belayers, ascents with no-one else at the crag etc.) and a general unwillingness to corroborate ascents. It is likely that some of his claimed ascents did actually happen but with the current evidence available unpicking fact from fiction seems unlikely. ### References [1] [https://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,27176.0.html](https://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,27176.0.html) [2] [https://www.ukclimbing.com/news/2010/12/rich_simpson_-_ukcs_position-59419](https://www.ukclimbing.com/news/2010/12/rich_simpson_-_ukcs_position-59419) [3] [https://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,16602.0.html](https://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,16602.0.html)
