Excellent, love the red wooly socks and the EB's, this must have been taken quite a while ago?

It was quite a while ago. In fact, it was November 22, 1975. Red was the in color for socks in those days, but I recall there was a brief fad for blue ones. Those EBs are somewhere in the attic.

I'm considering this for my wish list but these photo's have put me off! I'm comfortable at the grade but not very brave! Look at his rack, no cams!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cams? Cams? What are cams?!
Jan Witkowski - 23/Jan/11
Never mind cams! Isn't that one of those Whillans nutcracker harnesses?

It is indeed a Whillans harness, the height climbing cool at the time. If you look at the photo of me on Grottle at Swanage, you can see that 10 years earlier I am tied on to the rope using a large screw gate Stubai. What you can't see is the hemp waist line.
Fortunatel;y, i never had to test the nut-cracking efficiency of the harness.
