OK ... what grade is it from the kelp ledge to the hanging belay, which most ppl seem to try to pendulum across to ? ... I want to free climb the WHOLE thing ... and very importantly has anyone been to the summit FREE ?? I know that Simon Parsons , on the 3rd Aid ascent , circa 1979, ' summited ' by stepping up in an et, attached to a stopper placed in the obvious crack above the ' No Standing ' sign , and touch the very top with his hand only ... Has this last block been free climbed ? ... has ANYONE EVER stood on top ??? ... Neil, Simey , Bomber ? Please share;-)

Cheers guys !!!

Much appreciated !!!
