"expletives rang out from him as he realised what he had done and I think I called him a d#*k head..."

You called him a wanker, actually ;o) And lucky I was on a rope or I would have fallen off the cliff laughing.

"All the time we had been climbing there had been a guy bolting nearby, we had chatted a little and all was pleasant, however I now felt like a right muppet and felt that he probably thought the same".

I was terribly amused by you muppets, and a then a little concerned, and very nearly offered to jug back up my ropes and wander over and lend you one. But I didn't want to stick my nose in unless it looked like you were desperate or about to do something drastic and silly! Once it sounded like you had it under control, I definitely had another good chuckle.

Reminds me of being at Nowra and belaying my wife on Everything But The Wasp - one of her very first leads and her hardest at that point. She got to the chains as a storm rolled in and started bucketing down. As she was hanging from the wall clipped in with a couple of draws I was yelling directions (reminders) on how to safely thread for a lower off. And one point, over the roar of rain and wind, I could just make out my dear wife with the rope between her teeth, and it wasn't connected to anything else!
