Best Climbing Experience
Epics with Ciaran involving every possible combination of lightning, stuck ropes, hail and sleep deprived death abseils. A weekend of isolation up at Pillar with Henry. Pan frying a deathly hungover Arthur on the black slabs of Gronk. Mark dropping his jumar 1 pitch into the nose after teeing me up the prior week as some kind of butterfingered invalid that would be pissing gear into the valley for the whole route.
