How did it go?

Badly.

Don't be coy  :popcorn:

Something about landing on/bouncing off the ledge?
Possibly.

You can almost hear the clunk of the Boreals against the rock.

 For some reason I have a very clear memory of that ad and was proud as anything (aged 13) when I managed to source a Javlin fibre pile shortly afterwards.

Looks like a picture of Ray Jardine on the Phoenix to its right.

Here are a couple from back in the day, during a BMC-French federation meet in 1985, Nick Dixon doing the FA of Catastrophe Internationale (Roaches Lower Tier) and Isabelle Patissier trying it the same day. The young French climbers (one of the men got famous too but I can't remember his name) were distinctly puzzled by the grit and the ethics. Jean Claude Droyer, a kind of French Pete Livesey, was really cool and into it.

I was there and remember the day well, I onsighted First Full of Crystals, my first of the grade on grit I think.

Quality there Andy. Loving the Lycra. I thought that was you on Catastrophe initially, but you had thinner legs  ;D

No stack of pads back then either.
