Alex and partner Robbie Philips swapped leads on the lower section. Robbie then lead the crux pitch placing the gear before abbing the pitch so Alex could also lead it (on Robbie's gear, to save time). While practicing the crux pitch on a previous day Alex took a 30m fall, snapping 2 wires before stopping level with the belay! |
