Climber	Style	Ascent Date	Suggested Grade
Seb Grieve	Solo \| worked	13th Oct 1991	E8
First ascent.
Grieve suggested E8 for his solo ascent. Soloed (Friend 6 did not exist.) with home-made knee-pads made from bathroom towels for added friction. Jeans are a good idea as well. Swinging across with a guppy and a pinch to the a-cheval position is the crux. Coming out of a-cheval to final layback is the heart-stopper and impossible to choreograph due to the 'knee-pad drift'. Felt very E8 at the time. Harder and bolder than Gaia and End of the Affair. https://www.facebook.com/rockarchivist/photos/a.117978419659044/117979619658924
