Year Climb Grade Style Date
2015 Raindogs 8a Lead | worked 25th Oct 2015
2016 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]
