Scottish climber Scott Muir has made an impressive repeat of what is believed to be Europe's hardest continental mixed climb, Game Over M13 at Drylands near Innsbruck, Austria.

The 25m route was first climbed by Albert Leichtfried in Jan 2005 and had remained unrepeated. It follows a spectacular line across the roof of a cave then downward through the centre of an archway, which provides a long sustained crux, before finally pulling through to a thin vertical finish.

Scott despatched the route after just two sessions of working the moves and was in "comp style" ie. no heel spurs on axes. He survived several "nearly off" moments through the long crux.

Also at Drylands, Scott flashed Happy M10, and made quick work of Tension M12- climbing it on his first redpoint afterÂ just a very brief session trying the moves across the roof.

Fiona Murray from Scotland was also in good early season form and climbed Happy M10, her third route at this grade but her first in Europe.
