<p>Certainly Ulysses was very dangerous. I mean, it was really dangerous. If you think, when I went there, there was nobody on the crag. We got the bus to Redmires and walked, so it was an hour's walk, nobody on the crag, no safety, nothing, no bouldering mats, no phones. I mean, if anything had happened, I would have been absolutely screwed. I only top roped it 10 times over two days, and then top roped it once and did it. I mean, it's ridiculous. I mean, now you top rope it till you're blue in the face. Till you have it totally wired. I mean, I top roped it 10 times and fell off it twice. I mean, it's crazy. (2)</p>

> I'd practiced the crux on absel many times, and after leaving the belay with just one krab on my belt, it flowed as in a dream until I was on the upper wall after committing through a 6b sequence (15ft above the poor lower-only RURPs and 70ft above the belay). I found moves to finish that I hadn't practiced; why?, why? In desperation, now fully here and awake, I slapped and groped with a pylon's span of rope between me and a grinning Darril [belayer]. [1]

After
Jerry had practiced what he thought would be the crux moves on abseil. However, the dangerous lower section was climbed without pre-practice and did not go to plan:
> In that photo [see [2]] I am absolutely climbing to save my life. I'm out of control, it's way harder than I thought, I didn't want to be there and I'm absolutely terrified.
> ...
> You get to some footholds where you can stand and get some RPs behind these little flakes...all I was thinking was "I need to get rescued, I need to get rescued". The I got there, got the wires in, settled down...I just told myself "I never want to climb that bottom bit again, I'm here now and I've got these wires in". The crux was above here but I'd sussed those moves on abseil...so I stood there for a while and thought "let's just go for it".
Jerry prepared for the route by soloing [Great Wall](/climb/1762/great-wall), [Curving Arete](/climb/5856/curving-arete) and [The Boldest](/climb/1757/the-boldest) – some of these were onsight.
The day after Master's Wall, he soloed [Right Wall](/climb/530/right-wall) and six other Extremes on Dinas Cromlech.
He later spoke about having potential post-traumatic stress symptoms:
>And still I think about those things. It's like a post-traumatic thing, and you still think about it and stuff. […] I'll be dreaming, and I'll be just like on the thing, and then I'll wake up and think, and then I'll be going, oh God, that was so lucky, or I don't know. Not really great feelings, just feelings of like, what the hell was I doing? And I was so bloody lucky, so lucky, so lucky. And you think, what if I'd have broken that hold, and you had pictures of yourself flying through the air and stuff.(3)

Before
<blockquote>
<p>In that photo [see [2]] I am absolutely climbing to save my life. I'm out of control, it's way harder than I thought, I didn't want to be there and I'm absolutely terrified. </p>
<p>...</p>
<p>You get to some footholds where you can stand and get some RPs behind these little flakes...all I was thinking was "I need to get rescued, I need to get rescued". The I got there, got the wires in, settled down...I just told myself "I never want to climb that bottom bit again, I'm here now and I've got these wires in". The crux was above here but I'd sussed those moves on abseil...so I stood there for a while and thought "let's just go for it".</p>

After
<p>Jerry had practiced what he thought would be the crux moves on abseil. However, the dangerous lower section was climbed without pre-practice and did not go to plan:</p>

<p>Jerry prepared for the route by soloing <a href="/climb/1762/great-wall">Great Wall</a>, <a href="/climb/5856/curving-arete">Curving Arete</a> and <a href="/climb/1757/the-boldest">The Boldest</a> – some of these were onsight.</p>
<p>The day after Master's Wall, he soloed <a href="/climb/530/right-wall">Right Wall</a> and six other Extremes on Dinas Cromlech.</p>
<p>He later spoke about having potential post-traumatic stress symptoms:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>And still I think about those things. It's like a post-traumatic thing, and you still think about it and stuff. […] I'll be dreaming, and I'll be just like on the thing, and then I'll wake up and think, and then I'll be going, oh God, that was so lucky, or I don't know. Not really great feelings, just feelings of like, what the hell was I doing? And I was so bloody lucky, so lucky, so lucky. And you think, what if I'd have broken that hold, and you had pictures of yourself flying through the air and stuff.(3)</p>
