Eliminate A is brill... I have magic memories of it. I havn't done Hast Knot or Eagle Front, which friends reckon are on a pair.

What made him even more annoyed about surrending the crux lead was that he was the same height as me !
I always reckoned OB was Hard VS too, That one 5a move is polished sketchy and not to well protected. A grade harder than Adam, which consider benchmark VS 5a.

No no no... F Route is sheer pleasure start to finish... NW Arete is just pleasant bimble to get the blood flowing.
