Last summer Robbie Phillips and Alex Moore travelled to St John's Head on the Isle of Hoy in Orkney, Scotland, to repeat Longhope Direct. First ascended in 1970 by Ed Drummond and Oliver Hill, the route climbs what is famed as the tallest sea cliff in the UK; it was first climbed free by Dave Macleod in 2011, before being repeated by James McHaffie and Ben Bransby in 2013. Here's how Phillips and Moore got on.
