The original aided ascent of this was the subject of a great quotable film, some of which is here, youtube.com/watch?v=a5ZBYewIdYU&

Unfortunatly it seems to have been sanitised of the best, sweary bits.

Good luck.

In reply to Ron Kenyon: There will definitely be some slacking in the woods to pass time, who knows if there are high ones out there...
