I post this photo as it is exactly 40 years to the day, of the first ascent.
Paul made a very smooth and seemingly effortless ascent, Dave and myself not quite as effortless! Interestingly, on reading my FA notes we all agreed that a grade of HVS 5b was appropriate so we must have found it relatively straightforward... today, the climb is graded E2 5c, so we all must have been climbing well!
