I can't imagine anyone going out of their way to repeat this, but here it is for your pleasure.

Division of Labour 10m M6.
From the belay at the top of pitch one on Damning My Soul step L, and up thin vertical weathered seam to top. Clean aid using RPs and hand placed Peckers.

Strikingly similar to John Lennon's 'Two Mnutes Silence'

Not to nitpick, but John Lennon and Yoko Ono's tribute to their still-born son, 2 Minutes of Silence was composed in 1969 and is a clear reference to John Cage's composition from 1952. None of this is as amusing as the chance to download the 2 Minutes of Silence ring tone.

We established this; however for some reason IdratherbeclimbingM9 prefers WhattheHellisRodsLastName. Go figure.

I read something recently that I know you would like, so here it is again;
No man is exempt from saying silly things; the mischief is to say them deliberately.
- Michel de Montaigne

The mischief I propose is neither hurtful or spiteful. It tickled my sense of humour so I am happy to let it stand for that reason alone, and besides it fits in with the events of the climb/day...

Different topic.
Hey egosan, you should be pleased that a luminary like Mikl is wanting the location beta. He prolly wants to go clean it up as a FFA (free-climb)!

He overlooked this line for the Gd 23 nearby... ☺

Here is a topo of where the line goes.

Red dash line is Division of Labour.
(Blue dotted line is the original free second pitch of Damning My Soul).
