I never really understood why climbers want to lead difficult and dangerous pitches, when they could top rope them, until I saw this photo. I have been thinking about it all day and it has inspired me to get outside and start learning to lead. Great work.

This route is well up there on my tick list - I take it you can get some decent gear in the break?

yep, you can get gear in the break - but, by then, you don't need it!

Superb pic. The tension is palpable.

Looks a bit like Pete Whittaker

Yer, looks very like Pete W

Ha I was just sat here thinking that looks like the grimace of Pete Whittaker when i read down a bit further!
And it looks a lovely route definately one to add to the wish list! :D

was thinking about doing this but if it makes the likes of Pete W grimace like that then I should probably think better of it.
