Dave the memory's really failing you! I took the photos of you (this is Alan's photo though)whilst Geoff belayed, hence I was 3rd on the rope. Had you had a drink with rohypnol in it? I guess you wouldn't remember if you had.

Oh yeah, it's worth 2 stars possibly 3! A very fine sustained line, in a good situation. "friends like Dave, who needs...?" grumble grumble.

Peter Cooper would need to get a mention on the first ascent aswell. See email I sent you earlier today Pete, Dave.
