End of the Affair E8 Lead | worked 26th Oct 2024

Mike used a side runner on the right hand wall which hadn't been used by previous ascentionists. He climbed up to place the runner before down climbing and then climbing the line.

Some confusion about whether Mike climbed the right line here. He climbed the line up the arête shown in the guidebook, but Miles Gibson has stated that the line “climbs straight up the centre of the wall.” [2]

The right side of the arête is Brazil E6.
