Mark S Davies - 02/Aug/13Report An absolutely brilliant photo of what must surely be an historic ascent. Reminiscent of the iconic shot of the late Wolfgang Gullich on his campus board. Savour the commitment!
Mick Ward - 02/Aug/13Report Thank you Pylon King. It's been a tough old battle and it's great to get nuguals of support from both people I know and don't know - thanks for restoring my faith in what I thought climbers were actually like! It's a great piece of rock, hope it gets some attempts.
Franco Cookson - 02/Aug/13Report Looked at your blog on and off and nice to see you got this done. Well done, looks fierce.
Tom Last - 02/Aug/13Report Superb photo, sterling effort Franco..will be watching this space for a second ascent !
mr mills - 02/Aug/13Report Don't think I've ever wanted a grade to be confirmed so badly! I hope you have a large box of eggs at the ready Franco!
peppermill - 04/Aug/13Report Think Andy Farnell should buy Franco a pint (if FRanco drinks) if the grade gets confirmed.

Andytapper - 12/Aug/13Report Franco, have you got 'Psykovsky's Sequins' written on your helmet? If so, why?
The Green Giant - 13/Aug/13Report I think we should call this kind of move "The Pinky Pull".....a very motivational photo....nice one Franco! :-D
