good effort an remembering the belayer andy!and yes, there is a sinker pocket just under his hand, IIRC lucian belayed him for a lift the next day to the train station ( it's a pain to get to the route.... starts 1/2 way up the crag)... jerry tried to flash it, failed...did it real quick and then got the photo session done all in a day!
There you go Sam, more than anyone could possibly want (or need) to know about that particular photo.
I once went round to look at a house (potentially to buy it) and on the wall in the stair well was the sillouette image of Jerry on said route. Don't know who's house or whether it was the original image from outside the Foundry ....discuss
I might try again with an even more obscure ask: Inside cover of the 1921 East Woking Shale guide anybody?
Yeah, I loved the bish-bash-bosh old school legends weaving a picture of a bygone age for me.

Three replies and it was all over bar the nostalging. I almost got dewey eyed. I might try again with an even more obscure ask: Inside cover of the 1921 East Woking Shale guide anybody?
Seems a long time ago now..Alan
7b moves in the UK: hubble crux, sampson, Gaskins problems, Quintessence, No of things at School, foundry pinch problem
I'm just so glad it wasn't called "Jerry's Wall". On the subject of the Foundry does anyone know what the "Foundry Pinches Problem" is which Andy Harris quoted as being English 7b in a thread about said grade a while ago?
