Hi Mick
How you doing? long time no see? last time was on Windy Ledge.Drop me a line when you next "up north" and we can get out?
As per usual your eloquence on writing a fantastic review shines through
A great job!!
Yes, I have to hold my hands up, it was me who started the thread, on the grades at "the pits", mainly to promote the guide (but still think Mangled digit 6b!!!). I also checked the first ascentonists hands, and he does have 10 fingers and does not only climb there, especially as I am climbing in France with him next week, so apologies to Ian.
Thanks again for a fantastic review, its a great guide, Martin and Ian put in a fantastic amount of work( as well as the rest of the team..too numerous to mention) to produce this and should win a BMC award for long term tenacity (how are my pro's doing?)
All I can say is buy it, read it, be inspired, and then go climb it!! (then argue about the grades in the pub!!)
Cheers
Nick B
ps your picture of the spanner is upside down!!!
