Is this the same Tom Randall who has climbed Zodiac, and took a bit of a nasty Factor 2 on Eagle's Way? I hope so!
Cheers, mates - nice work.

From Pete's very entertaining description of Tom's first attempt:
On approaching the lip he realised the offwidth genetics that had been passed on by his mother and father were all wrong and his mini-fists didn’t fit too well, so had to drop off...
Does anyone have a photo which is taken from a bit further out than theirs, showing the situation, exposure of the climb?
I've never seen this thing and likely never will so I am just curious. On this side of the pond if something is called a solo, "dropping off" does not usually end well.

Check out that taping for size...with a glove and everything. Aid climbing is news, I guess. Who knew?
Long shot for soloing reference.
All pics linked from wherever they resided on the web.

Lots of pads in those photos. The thing looks 15-20 feet high. How hard is it? Looks about V3-V4 or so.
EDIT - just searched - looks like graded 11c, so closer to V3. A 20 ft V3...with a hockey glove...that you have wired...WHAT A SICK SEND!!!

Looks like a highball. It's all grassy and stuff at the base.
Too stout for me, though.
Strong work.
Edit; .11c, even I can send that.

The climb looks fun! I'd be happy to try it with a rope.
Q: How many climbers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: One hundred climbers. One to hold the ladder, one to climb the ladder and change the light bulb, and 98 climbers to stand around critiquing the bulb twisting style, the brand of the ladder, whether or not a ladder should be used, etc.

So many bitters, I assume now you realise the 5.11 was a joke grade and this is 5.13 and about v8 ;)
