Hidden - Lead O/S - 18/Mar/09

On our first attempt I did 1st pitch & alternated leads. On 2nd climb Phil did 1st pitch & alternated leads. lost route on 2nd pitch and finished off 3rd pitch to top. So windy on top I couldnt hear Phil but we knew enough for him to start climbing. Once climbing he had problem and needed to dowm climb but I couldnt hear him. Tricky situation all round but phil kept it together and sorted it out. Re-named alternative route africa rib jungle alternative.
Neil Metcalfe101 - AltLd - 01/Mar/09

After going off route on 1st attempt we decided to climb it again proper like. learnt from previous climb to route it right and to put extra pitch in near the top so we could here each other.
Neil Metcalfe101 - AltLd - 01/Mar/09

Year a guess - remembering it snowing part way up the second pitch.

Declined offer of leading 2nd pitch only for Leon to take the brunt of the hail storm that lastest for the length of his climb.
Neil Metcalfe101 - 2nd - 09/Mar/08 with Allan Mac & Leon.

Climbed in the rain in borrowed boots. Remarkably fun in spite of that though.
