The Story of Two Worlds (Low Start) 8C+ Boulder | worked 22nd Mar 2012
First ascent.

After an extended siege Dai climbed The Story of Two Worlds however he later realised that he'd climbed it from one move in compared to where first ascentionist Dave Graham started. He then returned and after another protracted siege added an extra move in to the start to produce a low start.
