Same as my handle on here - jacksonclimbs

Pads were sitting under 'wet with excitement' - V6, when I went past. It's not a crazy tall highball, but I think an awkward fall can bust an ankle from a couple of feet anyway. Not sure exactly how high the guy was, didn't see the point in giving the guy's mate the full 3rd degree on it.
