Earlier this year Tom Randall succeeded in making the second climbing ascent of Sam Whittaker's Wimberry masterpiece, 'Appointment with Death', E9 6c (see UKC News Report).
The climbing route had stood unrepeated for around 10 years; its location on the wild Wimberry buttresses, combined with the difficult nature of the pebble pulling climbing (and maybe the name) had put people off climbing the route.
