Bat Route 8c Lead | worked 11th Sep 2021
Revelations 8b Lead | worked Nov 2016

Aged just 11! Toby had to use a significantly different sequence because he was too short for the normal method.

I saw Will Bosi climb it [Hubble] and thought I would love to give it a go and you can never set your heights too high. [1]
