On the 8th September 2015 Littlefair successfully climbed Rainshadow[3], a significant 9a climb in Malham Cove and is currently ranked as one of the best amateur climbers in the United Kingdom. When asked about his draw rock climbing Littlefair responded "there isn't one" before clarifying that there is an element of ego in it, at that it "gives me a kick."[4]
