End of the Affair E8 Lead | worked 11th Oct 1998
Belayed by Tom de Gay.

Tom de Gay, after belaying Tetler:

It was the scariest moment of my life!

Knockin' on Heaven's Door E8 Solo | worked 11th Nov 1998 E9
4 sessions.

Ben was not impressed with Richie Patterson’s renaming of the route and wanted to put things straight with no off-route gear or pegs. He suggested E9 for a solo ascent.

The ascent did not go entirely to plan, as his flared trousers obscured the footholds on the final moves.
