In reply to UKC Articles:
I thought this journey was going to start with Flying Buttress (the vdiff, not the Direct) and make its way slowly through Black Hawk Hell, Crack and Corner to Manchester Buttress, Inverted V and the Black Slab. Instead I find the author doing his first lead on a climb harder than I've led in my first two years. Very boring. I'd be more interested to read about climbers getting sandbagged by Right Hand Trinity.
