In reply to kristian:
The first free accent up the front side of the buttress is quite interesting and the aid point is still to be freed.
> I did always wonder why you left the line half done but on reading your book it became apparent why.
Hi kristian, really nice post that, ta.
Am so glad you 'got' my reason for not going back to The Spider but time was running out and I was Australia-bound and heading for some cliff they called Taipan Wall in a scruffy mountain range called The Grampians you see.
As for the remaining aid point ,,,, I did the move free [in two parts as you've read] and TBH can't understand why nobody else's eliminated it by now! I mean; heel/toe in the break, small undercling, l,o,n,g stretch to jug, loads of slack to avoid helpful tension and job's done. Stroll to the top. Best profile in't Peak as apparent in Neil Foster's brilliant sequence.
Now seriously young lad; Do I have to come back there n show you?
