Cliff was the amazing Waterworks Quarry in Hobart, climb was Jesus Built My Hammer Drill 17/18, and i'm pretty sure he led it clean. (Or he may have finished up the 15 just to the left on the footage, but i'm pretty sure he has done the 18 before)

Watching Duncan climb is pretty crazy, the general process is: reach for holds, skate feet around searching for footholds, eventually a foot sticks, stand up and lock off on holds, maybe search for another foothold, feel around for next hand hold. Repeat.

He has seconded plenty of grade 14/15ish trad routes clean (taking out the gear too). He has also seconded a couple 18/19s on the pipes with a couple of sits.
I heard he seconded Oceanoid at araps not long ago. Not sure if it was clean or not. Pretty f-ing impressive regardless though.
