This ascent is dubious, with no footage produced and some prominent locals who are sceptical of his ascent.

Around 60 sessions.

After a poor session, I went home and watched the video of Nalle's send on repeat for 45min. Everytime the video played back, I’d focus on the movements of a different body part. I woke up the next morning pretty sore from the day before, but decided I should try anyway. Everything I learned the night before watching nalles vid on loop definitely had an impact on my tries, in a way I felt like I had learned everything there was to understand about the problem. All that was left to do was close the chapter. I pulled on for my last try of the session, which ended up being my last try ever. [1]
