1 of my most nervous belays. I led pitch 1. Belayed on 2 old pegs and 2 or 3 skyhooks. Neil hadnt climbed for 3 months, finishing off his PHD in the alps. He went up and down, up and down with me sweating watching him. Def do in 1 pitch. No idea what i was thinking belaying there. He did a great lead
