The usual route off for those soloing this route is via helicopter!

What no one seems to have noticed is he must have done it twice. Some close ups there would have required it situ cameramen. On the heli shots he was alone....

I'm sure it'll be a complete set-up, that one. TV nearly always is, somewhere. On the subject actually, Macleod and Emmetts The Great Climb was completely unstaged (obv), and there was cameramen in shots, rustling microphones and the likes. Refreshing though to see unpolished, high-quality TV (HQ in the sense of top-notch content).

He went back after the event to stage some pics (read it on his blog...or somewhere else I can't remember now)
