The time has come. You wanted 9a...9a you shall have. It's 11:59.
The smokescreen lifted by a magicians slight of hand often reveals purposful misdirection towards the watching crowd, & thus, reveals in turn, the secret of his true intention, & reasoning behind such meticulous & cold-cut preparation.
At frustratingly short notice, Dave MacLeod phoned to say, himself, Cubby & Scott Muir are on the islands & en-route for a meet up tomorrow or this Tuesday. After Dalbeg, I'll take them to scope out the secret An t-Súil cathedral & it's trad possibilities. If Dave commits to the awesome left roof & headwall challenge, we could well be looking at E10 in Scotland, immediately next door to a F9a courtesy of myself...Project updates will be posted here as the finale is reached. In 6 or so days, there will also be a headwall extension of Collinex bolts to further Six Blade Knife from F8b+ & add a more natural conclusion, along with a couple of bomber replacement eyes in the 9a line. You've gotta love abbing into huge dark holes with a 2.7kw generator dangling on jummars, a clattering Hilti & a rack of wieghty tat aye. So, the finale will be sooner rather than later, given that I can, by the skin of all effort, keep it together on the last few moves. Absolutely psyched.

V15 crux sequences midway on bolts, can be quite tiring - even just to look at.
