Angus Kille bringing to a close his obsession with Trauma (E8/9 7a) on Dinas Mot in the Llanberis Pass, north Wales.
Angus commented: "There's an awesome flow to climbing the technical sequence when you have it really wired. It was incredible executing all of that on the lead. As an 8a+ trad route in the Pass it's an absolute gem and has rounded off a big year for me."
This Leo Houlding route was originally graded E9 7a in 1999. When James Mchaffie made the fourth ascent in 2007, he suggested E8, saying: "As for the grade, well, I think with the pecker hook it doesn't warrant E9. E8 7a seems a more accurate appraisal.”
Whatever it settles at, for Angus "it is the route of the Pass" and one that has inspired him since climbing his first multi-pitch route, also on the Mot, eleven years ago aged 15.
