Ascents

3 recorded ascents.

Climber Style Ascent Date Suggested Grade
John Redhead Lead 1991
First ascent.

I had just recovered from a paralysing virus, no doubt self-induced, as most viruses are, which hospitalized me for several days. The births of four paintings (titled The Shaft of a Dead Man) were no doubt the product of this alternative head space. [1]
