Where Angels Fear to Tread - bloody epic 21-Nov-2012 At 11:41:46 AM JDB

Message

Call me soft (a lot of people do), but having recently grovelled my way to the top of "Where Angels fear to Tread", I now have a very healthy respect for the route.
Hats off to the Gledhill brothers who led it in the 70's.
Given that I probably have only done two consecutive jam moves once in my climbing career, WAFTT was quite a step up. There must have been plenty of parties through the years that got lost, be-nighted, succumbed to the pain of jamming feet and rapped off etc, I'd love to hear the 'tales of woe' or triumph. Given the grade is a modest 17, all I can say is that it is/was bloody epic!
(and yes GFDonc, I did have a tablespoon of cement before I started)
