Ricky managed to get away from his revision earlier in the week to complete his project at Fairhead, Northern Ireland. Ricky named the route; A Bad Skin Day, coming it at a knee quaking, E8 6c. Unfortunately he couldn’t tell us any more than that it was 'amazing' because he had to go study. Rest assured however we can expect many more superb routes from Ricky (once he puts his pen down at the end of exams that is).
