New F7c by Tom Bunn

Tom Bunn has successfully redpointed a hard new extension to Wring the Changes (F7b+) in Cheesewring Quarry. Although somewhat unimaginatively named Wring the Changes Extension (in deference to the parent route) it weighs in at F7c so constitutes a significant addition to the cannon of Cornish sport routes.

F7c would appear to be the ceiling for hard sport climbing in Cornwall at the moment - at least where commonly acceptable venues are concerned - with the number of routes at the grade currently standing at 6. I'm sure it won't be too long before the bar gets pushed higher.

Tom has also repeated Wring the Changes, which may only be the third ascent of this recently re-equipped test piece.
