Brilliant! Climbing and writing. I enjoyed that and have sweaty palms just reading your 'inner dialogue'. Sounds like that'll stay in the memory banks for a while!

Looking forward to seeing the video.

Agree - great account of what is clearly a fearsome route.

Interesting comparing the inner dialogue with Andy's on The Bells.

Again, so glad it worked OK in the end.
