Year Climb Grade Style Date
1999 Slab and Crack E8 Lead | worked 15th Aug 1999

Dislocated shoulder on the last hard move on lead, and just managed to do a one-arm mantle to finish. It's weird that you can tear yourself apart... Duncan kindly drove me to his doctor friend in Sheffield for some brilliant painkillers, and I sailed back to Leicester in a daze. A big day out for me!
2000 Messiah E7 Lead | worked May 2000

Had the crux dialled on top-rope ("Easy, that"), but found I couldn't do it on my lead attempt at all -- it all felt wrong. My fear of falling off was so strong that I immediately concocted a completely different sequence -- going up for break with RH -- on the spot that worked - just. Idiot. [1]
