Someone has already commented that this pitch was 'black to say the least' However both Martin and myself feel it was in perfectly acceptable winter condition. The crack line i was following was chocked with ice and frozen dirt making it extremely difficult and strenous to protect resulting in a serious lead and very annoyingly a rest one move from a successful onsight.Nothing is black and white!

Looks reet to me.

Thats winter nick ...like to see u climb that with bare fingers......

Top effort Pete. I guess the comments are from those who were no where near the northern corries on Saturday! Sadly the detractors may discourage people from submitting inspiring photos due to the risk of them being unfairly criticised.

Don't worry Pete I'll confuse everyone even more at Kendal next weekend!!! Good effort lad, nice to see you are getting warmed up

If your email from the other day is anything to go by this really is only a warm up.

Well done. Where in the coire is it Pete?

Hi Graeme, It goes up the left wall of Belhaven.
