News: Ricky Bell climbs 8a in Fair Head
« on: September 12, 2012, 08:27:40 PM »
Ricky Bell has climbed the sit start to the incredible hanging prow on the Brought to you by the letter M boulder in Murlough Bay, Fair Head. It's called Spindle 8a.



He has been exploring deeper into the scree where he climbed some new problems, topo to follow.



He also did a low stand/crouch start on the arete to the right of Missing In Action which it finishes up, called SuperExtra 7C.

A tad photoshopped/instagramed for me. I would prefer the undoctored version. Great, great line and to think it was sitting there in everyones face for so long.

I'm sorry, my irony detector must be on low this afternoon, but did you just use the phrase "king line" in earnest chris?
