Caff climbs 9a! Effort!
James McHaffie (a.k.a. "Caff") has climbed his first 9a sports route, making the second ascent of The Big Bang at Lower Pen Trwyn.
(For people using different grading systems, Rockfax has a grade conversion chart.)
Courtesy of hardcore local Chris Doyle, here's some footage of some of the attempts before his final successful redpoint.
The traditional British climbing accolade is "Good effort!" or sometimes simply "Effort!", which I've always loved. So I've started an "effort!" tag for anyone who wants to post a piece of climbing news that's inspired them or made them cheer lately.
