First ascent.

Nick White:

Ken Palmer just happened to be out for the annual Sunday stroll with his girlfriend Wendy and his dog Tuppence, when who should he spy at the foot of Logan Rock but Nick Hancock belaying Andy Grieve on the most hideous offwidth in the world. Andy is a youth renowned for his stout construction and dogged determination, which he had used to good effect; not only had he got himself wedged half­ way up the disgusting orifice he'd also wrestled a huge car­ jack into position to protect the next exposed section, a grim example of the most advanced form of rockcraft... wriggling! However the effort had proved too much for the now spent Liskardian and the tasty (?) morsel fell to the pack snapping at his heels. Thus Ken swapped the dog lead for the sharp end and grunted, squirmed and ultimately extracted himself from Jack Yer Body (E5 5c). [1]
