Jon Fullwood:

I belayed Tom on the second ascent (Pete did 1st) and given this was a week before he was due to go to the states to try Century Crack (ie. quite crack fit!), how skin-of-the-teeth his ascent was, and how dismally I failed to second it… I would say it is a bit of a sandy sandbag at E5!
