Hmm, so probably not the best choice for a couple of lads on their first sport climbing trip having ticked a few E1s in North Wales and the Lakes?! (and yes, with double 45m ropes...)

Hmm, another couple of fails! Anyway, there was a happy ending, we ran away, tail between our legs and ended up at the comparative paradise of Orgon!
