Obsession Fatale E8 Solo | worked

After soloing it, Andy then climbed it hands free (on top rope)!

It's honestly not that bad. I was there with Johnny [Dawes] (no surprise). I'd just soloed it and he suggested trying hands free - I think he'd done it like that previously. I was dubious too but it went pretty easily (this is on toprope obvs). It's a very pure piece of padding. [2]
