the magazine that reviewed drugs?The 90s one I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called.
Yeah, I remember them. I didn't get a leech with my Kendos and ended up having a right old argument with the La Sportiva Customer Care Centre. Eventually they backed down and sent me a centipede as compensation. I have to say I was disappointed and have never bought another pair of La Sportivas.
Also Ben (sorry for brief hijack) did you ever find any copies of the magazine that reviewed drugs?The 90s one I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called.
Due to the hot dry climate in South Africa, the leeches would die within hours of application. A bit of an oversight from La Sportive, I thought, insufficient product testing. But if you sent a dead leech to the local distributor, they would exchange it, free of charge, for half a dozen much hardier ticks. You still had to pay postage though.
Here's one of CJD making the first ascent of Whiskey Bitch (from a sitter if memory serves me right, so quite hard, possibly V9/7c) on Pill Box Wall in '97 with Higg spotting. I'm liking the homemade pad very much.

no i've seen it done (as in my photo above) finishing at the POTRM end.
