As the first ascent of The Spade was completed there was a thunderstorm with very heavy rain. The photo was taken as the rain began to ease.
Note : I have submitted this photo on behalf of my friend Foxy, who, despite many attempts and even advice from a Forum thread, failed to get it through the system. If this one gets through I think know why and then Foxy can set up his own gallery - he has many historical classics.

Thanks for your efforts Boje! However, Lees would have been none too pleased to have seen his name spelt Jonny rather than Johnnie!! Fox.

No problem Fox - it really is a briliant photo with great atmosphere and history. Mo and I went to Bodlyn five years later in 1965 and I don't think anyone had been there since you and Johnnie. We did many new routes and I thought that after all the vegitation was cleared the crag would be a popular destination with routes of around 400 ft of HS / VS grade. It didn't work that way as nobody seemed very interested.
