Mega Classic

Mega mega mega. 60m 7b+... Try and imagine it! First 40m is super-sustained 7a intensity moves with 1 sequence at 7a+, the top 15m (or so) is probably 6c. Done with 3 monstrous whippers and about 4 rests (we were running out of daylight so I couldnt afford any more big falls). 20 bolts over 60m = bloody runout. Pockets, crimps, long techy seam-crack, desperate pebble pulling, slab and stemming. Demanded every climbing skill ive learned in 7 years in the 1hr 15min I was on this!

Sounds like a belay nightmare, I hope they took shifts.

It was a long one... but id spent the previous hour as a dedicated bitch to make sure Neilio wouldnt miss out on any climbing (so id finish on dark) and to offset the inevitable long haul.

Climbing this monster route is like an EXPERIENCE for all concerned. A JOURNEY up the Congo to find the Heart of Darkness and learn something about yourself.

Neil learned its fucking cold being on belay for 1hr 15min in the growing dark in winter =p. But he caught some proper mega whippers!

Um... I meant dedicated BELAY bitch... but theres no way my previous faux pas could be misconstrued... right?
