The way he's holding the ropes; the look in his eyes. Brilliant!

It's not me, but I still have a copy of that red rope in my loft!

The young lad holding the ropes is now 49!

Great stuff Paul - I particularly like the gear. I didn't do much after about 1974 but I can relate to the equipment. Flat cap, perlon ropes, alloy carabiners, simple waist harness, slings around the neck bandolier style and of course E.B's (although I always continued to call them P.A's).
Do you remember what climb you did that day ?
