WOW, unbelievable, lead this route my second day on grit, ill never forget that pulling over that overhang was the ultimate midge-cure. Any chance sending me the uncompressed photo?

Sums up the Stanage evening experience, last on the crag, not wanting to go home.

good effort matey. I backed off this one on solo. got to just by your feet. Mind you i didn't have shoes or Beta. Had you lead it beforehand?

Yep Ali had done the route before, possibly more than once

Franco - it must have been harder to back off than carry on surely...

i love this photo, and i wish i had the guts to solo like this!
