> You didn’t follow up your unfortunate you’d-better-flash-this-now-because-I’m-never-ever-going-to-do-that-again experience on Araucaria by following this as well, did you, Neil?
I didn't John - I can't climb 8a, and I actually didn't go down to Starship Zawn this trip.
Co-incidently, I re-read Nick W's Mountain article last night, and whilst I can readily imagine that I might have grunted a bit when seconding P1 of Araucaria, and even encouraged my brave leader to make sure he 'got it in the bag' so we'd not have to repeat it, the phrase "bitch of a pitch" simply isn't in my vocabulary.
Bloody journalists!
