<p>The long awaited second ascent.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The day before I did it I told myself that this Friday will be the last day I will try it this season, due to work and summer getting so close, I wasn't going to have the chance to come back. When I got to the crag I knew I was going to do it, something in the back of my mind was really aware of that. [3]</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Eder was the first person to climb the line while making extensive use of the knee bar rest after the <a href="/climb/7/rainshadow">Rainshadow</a> crux. <a href="/climber/129/steve-mcclure">Steve McClure</a> had tried the knee but was unable to get much out of it, but after extensive training Eder was able to rest there for around 2mins on the successful go.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>When I first tried the kneebar I couldn’t get no hands, took me 3-4 sessions to get 5 seconds no hands, and months training my legs so I could stay longer, last November managed for the first time 1 min on the kneebar and after a winter of training I got 3 min for the first time last month. The kneebar is hard very painful and super intense, what you see on the video is the outcome of loads of really hard work, loads of pain and loads off pinning off the kneebar buttering your knees… My mate <a href="/climber/180/josh-ibbertson">Josh Ibbertson</a> is also trying the route with the same knee pads and he struggles to get 30 seconds no hands… he is been trying the route for as long as I have.</p>
<p>So the training, I did loads of strength training like weighted squad deadlifting. Also some pain tolerance training for my right toes, because the kneebar is so intense that my right toe will really hurt due to the pressure you inevitably apply on the heel. All that pressure transfers through the shoe getting really tight on the toes. [4]</p>

The kneebar is hard very painful and super intense, what you see on the video is the outcome of loads of really hard work, loads of pain and loads off pinning off the kneebar buttering your knees… My mate [Josh Ibbertson](/climber/180/josh-ibbertson) is also trying the route with the same knee pads and he struggles to get 30 seconds no hands… he is been trying the route for as long as I have.
> So the training, I did loads of strength training like weighted squad deadlifting. Also some pain tolerance training for my right toes, because the kneebar is so intense that my right toe will really hurt due to the pressure you inevitably apply on the heel. All that pressure transfers through the shoe getting really tight on the toes. [4]

Before
A pioneering route up Trango's Nameless Tower, encompassing hard free and mixed climbing at 6000m.
The route was established in 1989 by [Kurt Albert](/climber/604/kurt-albert), [Wolfgang Güllich](/climber/525/wolfgang-güllich), Christof Stiegler and [Milan Sykora](/climber/1702/milan-sykora), graded VI, 7b+, A2.
The whole route was freed by the Huber brothers in 2009, during an unprecedented spell of good weather, at 7c+.
[Alexander Huber](climber/523/alex-huber):
>"There's no doubt we were extremely lucky. To be successful, so many different things have to fall into place. The weather was great which meant we could climb perfectly, up the cracks which were free of ice. I take my hat off to the achievement and free climbing instinct of the first ascenders. This route is a true enrichment for mountaineering. With "Eternal Flame" Kurt Albert, Wolfgang Güllich, Christof Stiegler and Milan Sykora have passed on the best and most beautiful free climb on the globe. We are thrilled that we could play a little part in developing this route!"
