Just before he launched himself across the pendulum

Great photo - really captures the commitment, atmosphere... and rubbish gear of the era.

Mick Ward - 19/Feb/10

the gear was not rubbish it was what we had at the time

Thanks Brian - I thought we were rather well equipped at the time! We had a double rope!

Nice photo - the gear looks pretty good to me. The photo is not dated but the gear is much better than I had in '62 and infinitely better than Joe had in '52 !

Looks like a 'MOAC Original' on the back of his harness - I always felt invincible when I'd placed one of those!
