In response to a email I got about the open crab highlighted in this photo - I believe it was pushed open by the edge of the overhang as I fell (because the extender wasn't long enough). A useful lesson to learn! There was a thread discussing it at http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?t=50304

one of mine did the same thing at this point so we had to extend it then we pushed on and got it 3rd go (i think thee is a small lip of rock there that it can get caught on)
