Did the Chain (E1 5c) by mistake instead of top pitch of West Rib. Dave's lead but he quickly realised it wasn't the 4c we were expecting

Ched - Lead O/S - 1997 with Glanfor

my brother egged me into doing this instead of the last pitch of western slabs. He said that it'd make for an interesting finish... I was only a VS climber at the time and, yes, it did make for an interesting and rather intimidating finish.
