Climber Style Ascent Date Suggested Grade
Joe Kinder Lead | worked 28th Oct 2016 9a/9a+
First ascent.

Kinder originally graded Bone Tomahawk 5.14d/5.15a, telling Rock and Ice that it might be 'a normal 9a [5.14d] or a 9a+ [5.15a], but hell…. I don’t know and don’t want to state anything I’m not comfortable with.' At the time it was his hardest-ever first ascent. He went on to open Life of Villains, also in the Fynn Cave, at the end of last winter, and graded it 5.15a. [2]

After 6 years of work!
