Before
Moffatt's solution to the Last Great Problem on Great Wall. The line had been attempted by [John Redhead](/climber/623/john-redhead) in 1980, pre-sticky rubber. After taking a massive fall he placed a bolt at his high point, recording the route as [The Tormented Ejaculation](/climb/1089/the-tormented-ejaculation). Jerry moved right from around this point, into the neighbouring E4 [Spreadeagle](/climb/4922/spreadeagle). The full direct line was climbed in 1986 by [Johnny Dawes](/climber/561/johnny-dawes): Indian Face.
[Leo Houlding](/climber/574/leo-houlding) made an audacious and terrifying onsight ascent of the route in 1996
[James McHaffie](/climber/138/james-mchaffie) attempted the same in 2000 but got got into serious trouble high on the wall, resulting in one of the most extraordinary and chilling rescue attempts in British climbing. He returned to the route in 2018, climbing it on his second attempt after practising the moves on abseil. The verdict:
> I’ll just throw it out there and say I think [[Jerry](/climber/131/jerry-moffatt)] did an E9 in 1983 and I don’t feel too bad for having a total fucking epic on it as a teenager. (1)
There has been some debate about the line taken on the first ascent.
[Nick Dixon](/climber/540/nick-dixon), 2004 guidebook:
> The route has now had several ascents, some on-sight, though the exact position at which climbers have moved right has varied. The higher, the harder - the first ascensionist moved up and right from position just right of the old [Tormented Ejaculation](/climb/1089/the-tormented-ejaculation) bolt stud, which is 3 metres below and just right of the overhang.(2)
However, [James McHaffie](/climber/138/james-mchaffie), based on photographs and Jerry's account, Caff believes Jerry took a high traverse line:
>There is a lower weakness beneath the line of Masters Wall leaving the Indian Face 5 metres above the overlap which would be soft E7. It isn't that surprising with the form Jerry had at the time, few climbers in the UK have ever been onsight soloing E4s on mountain cliffs and if you are adept a climber as Jerry obviously was then onsighting many E7s wouldn't feel too hard and after multiple abseils I'd go so far as to say he'd find E7s piss. Listen to his account of his ascent. (1)

After taking a massive fall he placed a bolt at his high point, recording the route as [The Tormented Ejaculation](/climb/1089/the-tormented-ejaculation). Jerry moved right from this point, into the neighbouring E4 [Spreadeagle](/climb/4922/spreadeagle). The full direct line was climbed in 1986 by [Johnny Dawes](/climber/561/johnny-dawes): Indian Face.
[Leo Houlding](/climber/574/leo-houlding) made an audacious and terrifying onsight ascent of the route in 1996
[James McHaffie](/climber/138/james-mchaffie) attempted the same in 2000 but got got into serious trouble high on the wall, resulting in one of the most extraordinary and chilling rescue attempts in British climbing. He returned to the route in 2018, climbing it on his second attempt after practising the moves on abseil. The verdict:
> I’ll just throw it out there and say I think [[Jerry](/climber/131/jerry-moffatt)] did an E9 in 1983 and I don’t feel too bad for having a total fucking epic on it as a teenager. (1)
There has been some debate about the line taken on the first ascent.
[Nick Dixon](/climber/540/nick-dixon), 2004 guidebook:
> The route has now had several ascents, some on-sight, though the exact position at which climbers have moved right has varied. The higher, the harder - the first ascensionist moved up and right from position just right of the old [Tormented Ejaculation](/climb/1089/the-tormented-ejaculation) bolt stud, which is 3 metres below and just right of the overhang.(2)
However, [James McHaffie](/climber/138/james-mchaffie), based on photographs and Jerry's account, Caff believes Jerry took a high traverse line:
>There is a lower weakness beneath the line of Masters Wall leaving the Indian Face 5 metres above the overlap which would be soft E7. It isn't that surprising with the form Jerry had at the time, few climbers in the UK have ever been onsight soloing E4s on mountain cliffs and if you are adept a climber as Jerry obviously was then onsighting many E7s wouldn't feel too hard and after multiple abseils I'd go so far as to say he'd find E7s piss. Listen to his account of his ascent. (1)

<p>Looking down the crux headwall to the resting foothold I’m glad I never tried it from the deck as much as Redhead would think me someone of low libido. I’ve never been on a climb with so many ‘almost holds’ for both hands and feet where it ‘s easy to get it wrong and what could be a 5c move could become a 6b move. […] I found 1 ok RP but if not placed perfectly it would pull through and it was hard to judge if it would take a fall. 3 other rp1s near it weren’t that inspiring either. I checked the moves and gear lower down and was a slightly appalled. The filed down rock 6 mentioned in the old guide is not there which is why I didn’t find it in 2000, where I presume it went a quarter in, offset 5 or sideways rp5 may take some bodyweight. 3 meter beyond a 3rd in sideways rock 7 again possibly takes some bodyweight. These 2 bits are your pro until the ‘gear’ nest at ¾ height, I can only think the gear has changed over the years for <a href="/climber/623/john-redhead">redhead</a> to survive a fall down the groove or else the ‘Gods’ were smiling on him that day.

>Looking down the crux headwall to the resting foothold I’m glad I never tried it from the deck as much as Redhead would think me someone of low libido. I’ve never been on a climb with so many ‘almost holds’ for both hands and feet where it ‘s easy to get it wrong and what could be a 5c move could become a 6b move. […] I found 1 ok RP but if not placed perfectly it would pull through and it was hard to judge if it would take a fall. 3 other rp1s near it weren’t that inspiring either. I checked the moves and gear lower down and was a slightly appalled. The filed down rock 6 mentioned in the old guide is not there which is why I didn’t find it in 2000, where I presume it went a quarter in, offset 5 or sideways rp5 may take some bodyweight. 3 meter beyond a 3rd in sideways rock 7 again possibly takes some bodyweight. These 2 bits are your pro until the ‘gear’ nest at ¾ height, I can only think the gear has changed over the years for [redhead](/climber/623/john-redhead) to survive a fall down the groove or else the ‘Gods’ were smiling on him that day.
