John and I first did Sunset Crack, but I was not going well, so I then dropped in photographic mode and John did Cloggy Corner with Bernard Newman. (There's a B/w photo of them at the top of the climb, earlier in the gallery.) It seems I took both colour and B/W film - I'm sure I did not have two cameras.

Actually, I've just realised how it was I took B/W and colour of the same climb. I DID have two cameras. By then I had my own, not very good Konica, that I had used for two years in the Alps; and of course I would have borrowed John's (actually our father's) Leica, for the B/w pix.

This is not a very distinguished pitch, but this photo brings back to me exactly how it used to feel, climbing in those days. What I am doing is an easy high step (always a favorite move of mine), but more than half the point of that is to keep the runner on the spike. I've got my hand on the spike to keep the sling coming off, and I am bringing my right foot up onto the spike to keep the runner from coming off when I remove my hand. Then I'll stand up on the spike, and give a slight shake to let the steel carabiner settle down the rope so that the sling is hanging "safely" and more vertically down from the spike.
