Before mine too, but I gather the hook on Fingernail is still there - anyone know anything about it's origins ?

I believe that's Andy Nesbet anyway I think it was that same propeller that saved him when he was roped together with a friend with no gear in, approaching something hard and took a tumble down the gully! Luckily their rope caught on the propeller!

I thought a saw a shot somewhere of the original spanner in a new 'setting' on the ledge, but it isn't on UKC so now I am doubting myself,

One of the Frogsmouth routes has an ice screw. It's not an ice route.

Technical question, if it was frozen would it hold a fall?
