Death Wish | E7 Trad climb at Blue Scar

First ascent.

Second ascent.

One of the first E7 onsights in the UK and exactly two years after the first ascent.

Phil did this on-sight exactly two years after the first ascent. It was the same day that Gommy [Pete Gomersall] put up The Great White. There was no peg to clip as the route to the right, Stairway to Heaven, didn't exist. Gommy held his ropes. I even have a black and white photo of Phil on that ascent. [1]
