Wales: Doyle Proves Persistence Pays

Chris Doyle has finally completed his long-term project link up on Pill Box Wall. Drink Driving Font 8a+/V12 starts up Pill Box Original, before swerving left into the end of Millennium Drive, which is then reversed all the way back to its start. It is essentially a non-eliminate traverse of the wall taking in a ridiculous amount of hard climbing. Chris had been struggling with the redpoint over the last year and today marked his 43rd session on it. Less determined types may have walked away long since, but Chris showed impressive levels of conviction, returning time and time again, knowing that one day he would make it past that bastard crux move.
