It is incredible! Also, you can stand on the smallest of foot holds imaginable……Every climb I did and the few brief hours I had on the grit were incredible… Thanks to everyone that showed me around and showed me great hospitality! I hope to get back again one day!”The Ace, which is the sit start to The Joker, is on the Plantation boulders at Stanage and was first climbed by Jerry Moffatt.You can keep up with world bouldering and sport climbing on The Lowdown News Page at UKClimbing.com.Paul Robinson is sponsored byprAna, Five Ten, Mammut, OrganicThanks go to Keith Sharples of KeithSharplesPhotography for the photos of Rob Napier that illustrate this news item.
