    Unbelievable stuff, makes my blood shiver when I watch such exploits. Anything above 10 feet above ground and I freeze, but funnily enough when underground I have no fear of large drops...can't explain it.
    ***in could have used 'em all as cat-burglars and made a bloody fortune.

    Fantastic, thanks ST. Made my day.
    Filled the gap nicely between the end of the Magpies v Saints game and "Spiral" on the beeb.
    Damnation, the latter has started...

    Hull's own Andy Kirkpatrick has climbed El Capitan 29 times including 3 solo climbs and 2 one day ascents.


    Impressive.

    To be honest it wasn't really free climbing, they used safety ropes ffs, what a cop out, if your gonna do it, do it properly at least.
    And films, can,t do better than this

    I have no idea why that guy on at 1 min had a helmet on though, just made him look a lightweight

    Top climber is Kirkpatrick.

    He climbed the Reticent Wall route, the most technically difficult pitch on the hill, takes about 7 days to complete.
