defintitely no anchor :-) ,was climbing there in Jan. but it's pretty easy just to set up an anchor, leave it there for the few days you're climbing, then walk down the gully on the last day.

also, anyone been up 'Barbe di Vendetta' recently. at the belay / top of pitch 1 (a flat section of pillar) i noticed that that particular pillar moves ever so slightly. I had some cams in behind the pillar and when i gave them a tug the pillar moved - you could also jam your hand in there and feel the pillar moving.

god forbid if it ever came off - it's massive - sure it wont as it probably weighs a millon tonnes, but next time i climb it i'll be pulling up into that belay area very carefully.

(other than that ;-))) we loved the climbing at robin's buttress - it was just bloody fantastic.

looking forward to seeing the new guide, congrats guys.
