Dave Noden has made the second ascent of Chris Davies’s Parisella’s Cave desperate, Full Circle V13/8b. Dave confirmed the grade, commenting thus: “8b I reckon, and hard to get a useable sequence for.”

Full Circle essentially climbs the ramp of Lou Ferrino without recourse to the hand holds in the roof. The climbing is surprisingly independent, i.e. once started it is very hard to do anything but follow the ramp line with your hands.
