Alan Cassidy climbs his first 8c+

UKClimbing reports that after a great year of sends in which Alan Cassidy has ticked 'Unjustified', 8b+/c in Malham Cove and the 8c of 'True North' in Kilnsey, now he's "really excited to have my name up there with Malc (Smith) & Dave (McLeod) in the only Scots to climb the grade" by bagging the 3rd ascent of Metalcore, 8c+ in The Anvil. Alan had been working on the route since last summer and commented in his scorecard: "First 8c+. Super psyched. Possibly low in the grade but a good step up from all the 8cs I have done. Ondra, get yourself to the Anvil!"
