Definitely, although I think he should have gone for "Appointment with mild peril" as a name for consistency.

It's a slab; how hard can it be?

Shape your hand like you are pinching a pebble, then turn it upside down!

Great effort.

Or "By Appointment"?

Great effort, anyway!

Well obviously but the thought of doing that to keep your feet pinned to the rock for the next move just fills me with terror
In reply to UKC News: Great effort Nathan, I dread to think what's on your list for the winter.

In case you are in the area and you'd like to see the video footage, Nathan will be giving a free lecture on this ascent and others, together with Andi Turner and Jordan Buys, next weekend at Outside Cafe.
