It's a pretty small niche market and for what it's worth I reckon yours as a single rates well, especially when it's not trying to compete in a D4 (D for Deuce?) double portaledge market?

Thanks simey for pleasing an old pedant re spelling.
I also noticed the 'correction' re Ozymandias Direct to Oxymandias Direct...
Presumably because you felt like a beast of burden humping Johns wall-~~pig~~wombat down the south side and then hauling it up various pitches ?
John freely admitted to enjoying having you along as a fit young ultra-marathoner to do the heavy work...
~> no good getting older if you don't become more cunning! Heh, heh, heh.

I also noticed that you are indeed taking on walling in a serious fashion, in that you enjoyed imbibing of the scotch during your extended hanging belay sojourn. There is big wall hope for you yet!
