Belayed by Nick Bullock.
Jack Geldard: Onsighting is dangerous, trad climbing is dangerous and onsighting hard, bold trad routes is ridiculously dangerous. It's levels of acceptable risk, but also a strange belief in the strength of RPs helps. [1] Nick Bullock: I basically think that ascent probably was one of the pivotal, benchmark ascents of British onsight climbing to date.
