Steve McClure, Mutation (9a), Raven Tor, Peak District, UK.
#muscle #Monday. There can’t be too many routes that you can instantly recognise because of one move, but that’s what happened to me this morning flicking though my Instagram feed. I saw a image by @ethan_climb and thought “that has just got to be Mutation!”, it so reminded me of this. So yes, this is Steve McClure on his Mutation at #RavenTor, graded 9a, and I believe may be still unrepeated(?) since Steve’s FA in 1998. I really enjoyed working with Steve a few years back; not only does he have fingers of steel, his character is as strong as it comes too and he has been such a positive force for the UK scene. #respect. Who has read his new book — “Beyond Limits”? #climbing #rockclimbing #ImagesFromTheEdge @petzl_official #nikon @nikon_australia @thinktankphoto
