Total Brutal 8b+ Solo | worked 21st May 2021

Jorg's ascent attracted significant controversy due to the fact that the route overhangs a road, so a fall would potentially endanger passers by. It aso subsequently became clear that Jorg was suffering from mental health issues at the time of the ascent.
