I actually knew I was going to do Rainshadow on the Friday. On the Thursday I went to the Peak to do some easier climbing to waken up the body and mind. I found myself having an onsight go on Ninth Life, an E7 down Chee Dale. I felt amazing, I couldn't fall off that day so I confidently set off in the sun. I fell off high up with the sun shining in my eyes. It was quite a huge fall but that just got me more psyched. I pulled the ropes and did it next go for a more boring ascent. Friday dawned, it was the day to make the third ascent of Rainshadow…

Well I just did it. That was it, all that effort distilled down to a few minutes climbing.

Saturday dawned, it was time to go a win a bouldering competition. Well I did just that and took home £300. [2]

Before making his successful ascent in 2009 Jordan was trying the route around 2005 and decked out when the crucial modified ball nut popped out.
