Ninth Life | E7 Trad climb at Chee Dale Upper

UKClimbing.com

Named after Jerry Moffatt who decked from the upper reaches of the route on a previous attempt at the FA. Having completed all the hard, dangerous climbing and found a good runner he was stumped by the dirty top section so decided to lower off the runner. The runner failed and he landed flat on his back and was knocked unconscious, but miraculously awoke unscathed.

Alan Carne recalls

I thought he was dead. He landed flat on his back and was completely unconscious, immobile and I just looked at him and thought 'oh, my god, he's dead'.
