Neil, I made that film. Reid Jameson is another of my pseudonyms.
The point of the film was to show friends and family what the day was like.
The story was: got up a 5am in Richmond, the plan being to compelte the route before sundown. Several delays later and we completed the walkin at about 11ish - so based on our expected speed, it was sort of doomed before even leaving the ground.
I lead up the first pitch (in the shade) then my mate Pete cleaned. He left 3 cams and a nut in the pitch as he could not clean them, so after lunch we rapped off, I re-lead the first pitch to below the slot, cleaned out what I could then downclimbed.
The flake warped in the sun and crunched my cams bad. I was only able to retrieve one of them. I mean I placed them with the lobes about half closed, but when I got back to them I could see the stone squeezing the head. Poor things.
Expensive trip! but a hell of a lot of fun. We'll return and do it pre Christmas, but I'll camp locally so we can get a proper early start.
How embarassing! |
