Not sure how I got up this one! HVS 5b apparantly, felt more like E1 5b.

Well atleast you got some good weight training in with all that gear. How many bits did you get in, 3?

I have to agree, why do you need all that rack for scu a short ascent

Because he's weight training obviously. Or maybe he likes the sound of his cow bells too much.

In my defence, I didn't carry all that that was the gear I took on the next route and then I came back down for the photo. What I did take up The Pincer was, 5 cams from small to medium (small ones for the undercut, mid size for the break at 2/3 height), nuts, small to large (small for the undercut to back up the cam if possible, large for the top third) and a set of 4 torque nuts because they don't weigh much and I could have got one in the top third. 3 or 4 quick drawers so I had one on each side handy, a sling for the belay, belay device, prussicks and penknife because we have all seen touching the void.
Considering this route was near the top of my grade I have ever attempted I wanted to be sure of getting any gear placements that were there.
What should I have left behind?

You should have left behind whatever you didn't use. And once you have mastered how to do that you can let me in on it :)
Looks like a cracking wee climb.

I've also just spotted where it is. I spent 3 days in Northumberland a few weeks back. I must of missed this one some how.
