Good find Niall, highballing before it was invented. I forgot we didn't climb in colour back then.  :)

The Wuthering one is great.

Did much actually get done this year, or did it all end up disappearing too quickly?

I remember that year well. The Crux of Tippler Direct could be done straight off the snow for example.

Mind you, he's still taking quite a jump onto compacted snow in the Cave Arete photo - I'd want a mat or two these days jumping from that height.
