Thank you

Thank you. I'd like to know which route it is.

Looks like Suicide Wall Route 1 but, it could be Capital Punishment !!!
I`ll stick my neck out and say Capital Punishment, just because the rib you are going for looks like where you get some good gear; does look like Suicide wall though !!!

Thanks for clearing that up Mills!!!

Actually Mills, having looked a the photo of Rich Kirby on SW 1, there's no doubt.

... and it appears there's less erosion now than whenever this photo was taken!
jon - 05/Feb/10
Just had a look at some photos of SW R1 and I would agree with you that it is that route !
Quite right about the erosion, looks really bad ! just before they build the path I would think !

Goes to show that footpath building scheme actually WORK.

I literally caught Bob Milward when he slipped off the start of this route but threw him back onto it!

Hmmm, Bob Milward aka as Christopher Robin or Nanga Parbatty... Catchphrase, 'Hello, I'm climbing brilliantly!'

You forgot how modest he was. Now resides in Vancouver area on his own island!
Sean Kelly - 08/Feb/10
... his OWN island???
jon - 08/Feb/10
he spent lots of years drinking tea at the y.h.a. in manchester
brian cropper - 09/Feb/10
That doesn't mean he could buy his OWN island though!
jon - 09/Feb/10
