Year Climb Grade Style Date
2016 Soul Revolution 8B+ Boulder | worked 25th Feb 2016
Second ascent.

I had a total of eight sessions working Soul Revolution. I had perfect conditions for each of those sessions and it suits my style pretty well, yet it still proved to be resilient. It’s the most intricately powerful piece of climbing I’ve ever tried, situated in one of the most idyllic spots in Wicklow. Wonderland has been on my mind for years now, it still remains one of the most inspiring lines I’ve ever laid eyes upon. I had a total of four sessions working Wonderland, however, it was wet for three of those sessions. Luckily it was dry yesterday and I was able to make the most of it…
