Now that one, hmm, I don't know. I've seen this one a few times and honestly can't say what I'd do if offered the chance to go up. On one hand I'd love to, I really would. The adrenalin rush must be huge ! On the other hand I don't think I'd manage the climb now (it's damned hard work) and I don't know if I'd bottle out part way up.
Bear in mind, climbers have a massive advantage over non climbers ..... Their grip. I always knew that so long as I had one hand hold I was safe, I could take my weight on two or three fingers of either hand. I could just about manage one arm chin ups and I only climbed to E6, some are way way better than I ever was.
For anyone interested in climbing here's the grades https://www.thebmc.co.uk/a-brief-explan ... ing-grades
