Jungle Speed 9a Lead | worked 2013

It was my 6th week of trying this year and 12th session. The Redpoint for me was pretty all out as usual. The crux is pretty close to the limit of my power, so doing it after climbing Raindogs requires a bit of mental tenacity. I guess you could say this is one of my strengths, as I'm almost as weak as Steve (McClure).

Speed Intégrale 9a Lead | worked Oct 2018

Bain was a dream route for me as a historical tick - it's up there with the likes of Action Directe, Hubble, Om, Mutation, Northern Lights etc. These are the kind of sport routes which inspire me the most. I'm not one for getting excited when I top routes out but have to say this one definitely gave me a 'c'mon yes!' moment. Next... It is time for home and work! [2]

Dan Varian:

I think one of the most naturally strong (and in the tall camp) climbers i've ever met is Ryan Pasquill and i'd say his ascent of shallow groove is the most undervalued ascent in uk bouldering. That is a problem that has repelled all comers, including myself (i've done the moves but i personally find them harder than those on Monk Life for example). [1]

Dan Varian:

Ryan crushed it in an amazing display of multi talented finger strength, boning the initial pocket to kingdom come and fully booting round to snag the hold as a mono! [2]

I was a lot more scared than on both End of the Affair and Gaia. I'd say it's definitely worth E8. Placing the pegs for the first time on lead wasn't ideal. I placed them slightly to the left of where they should have been. I didn't trust them at all.
