All I can say is wow. I felt the pain  :-X :'( on his second to last attempt.

You all should really watch this.
No one goes inside to clear their head

Its Dave mcloud doing the hardest trad rock climb in the world at the time, Rapsody at dumbarton rock in glasgow. He's since put a harder route up on Ben nevis.
Did you know though that for a while the hardest route in the world was in the mournes!?

I think its divided years on Buzzards roost E9 or E10 something crazy like that.

i do fancy taking up a bit of climbing this year, after looking at dave's vid i thought i'd check ebay for one of his dvd's, not cheap though  :'( has anyone any recommendations on climbing videos? (for a beginner, none of this E11 stuff  ;D )  anything which involves the mournes would be a bonus

editted to add:

found the trailer here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D3-_wudalA

Lenny i'm popping round soon to borrow the dvd then down to Craigs to buy his climbing shoes, then all i'll need is a rope, and some muscles   ::)
think outside, no box required
