Trip Report - Nail Biter (Gibraltar Peak) 8-Jan-2008 At 10:50:17 AM deadpoint

Nice report, when you do a layback it seem much hard than a 16,
the trick to Nail Biter is to jamB it the whole way. Chris Larque jambs up
it like it was a grade 2 no hands solo, beautiful to watch.

My technique (lack of) is altogether different, get some gear in the crack up high, then lay up a move or two, get a cam in, the put you right foot out wide on the face and sprint for the top.

Very ugly and does not require any technique.

Scarborough Fair in its two variants 18/20 is absolute magic, the gear is great where is matters and think 3 dimensionally to find a multitude of rests all the way up the initial crack. The 15m runout at the end makes things a bit exciting.
