Yes, in the winters of 1970 - 1972 we used to do quite a lot of artificial climbing in South Wales. This was a very difficult climb because a crucial flake had broken in the crux involved and extremely long reach from a poor blade peg to an even dodgier one. This was my second, successful attempt. The climb effectively finishes at the lip. Now obsolete as Pat Littlejohn did a free version, Giant Killer, in 1983 taking a line very close to Gastro, using one peg for aid. Freed by Martin Crocker in 1988

It was really nothing like as scary as the real climbing we were doing at the same time.
