The Hollow Man E8 Lead | onsight 2008
Belayed by Nick Bullock.

Jack Geldard:

Onsighting is dangerous, trad climbing is dangerous and onsighting hard, bold trad routes is ridiculously dangerous. It's levels of acceptable risk, but also a strange belief in the strength of RPs helps. [1]

Nick Bullock:

I basically think that ascent probably was one of the pivotal, benchmark ascents of British onsight climbing to date. [1]
