The iconic opening scene from Hard Grit.

I was conscious of the risk and for sure I was very lucky. I would say now that I will never do this route, it's over in my head. [3]

Braille Trail E7 Lead | worked

Paul Twomey:

Didn't you have a bad time on Braille Trail last summer?

Jean-minh Trin-Thieu:

Yes, it was total agony. I'd been falling on top rope 15 times in a row from the crux and beyond, and then I managed it once. I decided, like Gaia, that it was now or never. I made it but everything went wrong on the route, I was sliding everywhere. I got to the top and my friend was somewhere crying. I decided I would never do that again and yet there I was on Gaia.
