<p>In my viewfinder I watch him fall, try again, and fall again. After four falls he lowers back down. Things are finely balanced. With more hard pitches above getting this done quickly is crucial.

<p>Ben: ‘It makes sense to give Caff a blast. He doesn’t suffer the same problem – I watch his fingers clamp onto the crimp I was struggling to hold and the bolt is clipped. He is struggling though, so much so that even the apologizing has stopped. ‘Out right Caff, a good flake!’ A quick slap and he is at a shake out, 15ft of E5, a big yell and he is at the belay – F8a on-sight at 3,750m.’</p>

Legendary British trad. climber and mountaineer with a legacy of many high quality first ascents particularly in SW England and N Wales.
[Adam Long](/climber/1491/adam-long):
> Discussing some of the piles of choss [Pat had] climbed over the years, he explained that he has never viewed poor rock as a detrimental quality, but just simply as a fact of the route. It can add to the character, or it can detract, but in itself it just is. Whether, to a climber, it is a problem, is something foisted on it entirely by the climber's preconceived notions of quality.

H. E. L. Porter in the 1921 Ogwen Supplement:
> **Extremely difficult. Steep and exposed. Eighty feet of rope.**
> A magnificent climb is obtained by first taking 'Hope,' continuing up Holly Tree Wall, and finishing up a stretch of slabs of 150 feet on the right. The total height is nearly 800 feet. With the possible exception of the Grooved Arête, this is the finest addition to the Ogwen climbs since the book was published. The start is marked by a cairn to the left of and above the detached block at the top of 'Hope.' A steep and awkward twenty-foot pitch leads to a heather patch. A slab on the right is crossed to a small ledge with a belay above it. Twenty-five feet higher is the Holly Tree. The original route traverses to the left some twelve feet below the tree, the position being very exposed, until an adequate ledge is reached; on this trying section the second gives the leader moral support by ascending to the tree. Since then the chimney directly above the tree has been climbed; this route is safer, and probably not so difficult. The next pitch is steep and hard to start, but the holds are good at the top. In twenty feet a rocky bay is reached. A thirty-foot crack on the right leads to a terrace (cairn). Above this is a steep, shallow groove, the last twenty feet of which are very difficult, but can be avoided by taking to the arête on the left. From here a short upward walk to the right leads to a fine stretch of slabs, which afford interesting and not too arduous climbing. [1]
