I skied with John a fair bit this winter, and climbed Repentance Super with him - hadn't realised he was quite such a trad beast. What a pair of routes. I'd love to try them if I was a bit stronger.

Looks sh*t. I'm glad I gave up trad climbing.

That rising flake line looks pretty cool too, like Lucky Strike on steroids.
