Perhaps it is a route that lends itself to technique not height and strength??! :grin: Yep that’s right, Sarah led pitch 1 and I led pitch 2 – specially enjoyed the fun exit through the tree!

But I think Anna mentioned on Saturday that she'd done it with Sarah (?) and thought it okay. :shock: Ah ha, but have you noticed that I have removed much of the tree from the picture with Photoshop! ;-)
