Wow - that's got to have been some drag on purple!

this photo should be used as an example of where not to place friends on wombat - it'll only snap the bugger off!

Probably worth mentioning where you'd recommend placing them instead, so that people can learn from your comments?

I'd say the one you already have clipped on your orange rope is ok however it's a bad idea to place any more cams further along the flake (like the one you're about to clip) as the falke is a bit unstable and will probably snap if you fall any distance on to gear there.

Completely agree, first cam is fine, second one is very dubious. Besides it makes the route harder as you have to hang around longer and increase the danger factor by adding the risk of pulling off a large rock. Definitely don't need it. Spoils the flow through the roof if you stop again to place gear as well.
