Look at the peg scars and the lack of runners!

First time I led this was 1976. I'd only been climbing a few months. High up and scared with poor protection back then. A large crowd watching me getting a bit of a shake on and the immortal words drifted up from a very young lad...'its ok Mr, just keep climbing and don't fall off". I did as he said and have often thought about those words over the years.
