[MrFloat223]

why take someone up a difficult route who clearly hasn't enough confidence to be tackling it? idiots.

I got stuck on the exact same bit - back tracked and went up the left side - more exposed but easier!!

well done nige

Sounds terrible markgodd. Very unlike the weather on the day we climbed. It was a beautiful clear September day with no moisture in the air whatsoever. In fact i'd go as far as saying the conditions were perfect for us all. Except Nigel of course.

Best wishes to you..

I got stuck in the same place yesterday. Heavy rain the night before left the rock very greasy. That combined with 70-80mph gusts. Very hairy indeed but well relieved to get to the top.

Well done, Nigel you made it up in the end through sheer perserverence and a little help from your friends! I got stuck on this exact bit just last May and after trying the exposed route around it, got a touch of vertigo, took fright and had to give up. Going back down was no mean feat - I dropped my rucksack about 20 feet with 2 cameras inside- they both survived and was then humiliated watching a dozen 16-17 year olds (mainly girls) and their mentor take the whole thing in their stride!

Go on Nige!!
