Pictures or it didn't happen.

;)

(and for anyone who's not reading between the lines, I'm not denigrating the reported ascent, but taking the piss out of Will, so don't even bother having a go)

I've just checked and you've only told me not to exaggerate 739456 times ;D

* Must remember to turn my sense of humor back on when posting to UKB from work *

Anyway, props to Nick for putting up what sounds like a rather nails route (picture below is linked to blog post btw).

Post by: Fiend on August 01, 2009, 12:39:23 pm: Good stuff. Saw him working this when I was getting scared on the E3 to the right of it (Nick later informed me that the bolts on the E3 "don't go in very far" and "someone came off the top, we were amazed the bolts held"). There was mutterings about English 7b at the time which looked quite believable - there's nae grips in the middle bit! A good effort, Nesscliffe keeps on giving...

:jaw: This is obviously why I haven't climbed E9 yet. Glad I know what to do now.
