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.

After footage of Dave on the first ascent was released years later it was revealed that Dai had actually originally started in the correct position and his ascent was valid.
