Cliff hanger finishes

A Wiltshire climber has successfully completed a seven-day stint hanging 330ft up a cliff in Somerset to raise money for cancer research.

Adam Young, 22, who has been climbing for 10 years, spent the time in a porta-ledge (a tent-like structure) secured on the side of Cheddar Gorge.

Mr Young had to contend with winds shaking the light-weight aluminium platform and basic food rations.

The only thing preventing him falling was a single bolt on the platform.
