Sorry for delay had to verify date.
I soloed it (in error for Flat Landers) prior to climbing the actual FL, on 14/05/97.This is over 10 years before the ascent by Dylan Burgess. He is therefore saying that it might well have been done before. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if it had been done by someone else even earlier. It wasn't sent in at the time as I didn't think it worth recording. I did however write it up in my Guidebook, from where I have gleaned the info.
