Elder Statesman E8 | Climbing History

Climber	Style	Ascent Date
Steve McClure	Lead \| worked	2nd Mar 2004
Steve McClure	First ascent. Steve used 3 ropes on the first ascent. This turned out to be a very wise choice in light o Michele Caminati'a horrendous fall while repeating the line for photos. References [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDTAKVUE_g4
Steve Dunning	Lead \| worked	Between 2nd Mar 2004 and 1st Jan 2005
Steve Dunning	Second ascent. I watched Steve Dunning do the second ascent. Connies were impressively miserable, windy and showery, I was having difficulty removing hands from pockets to attempt something 17 grades easier. He cheated his way up Elder Crack though, face-climbing around it and never once getting in and grovelling in the approved sequence.
