Led the Great Flake pitch. > Probably, being slimmer than former climbers, I got farther into the crack, and chimneyed it. I faced out, and think there was a small hold far up on the inside wall. Almost at once I felt the top of the Flake with the left hand. ‘I’ve got it!’ I said, thrilled with the realisation that the thing was virtually done, and there probably was not a happier woman living at that moment! ### References [1] [https://www.mountain-journeys.co.uk/central-buttress-scafell/](https://www.mountain-journeys.co.uk/central-buttress-scafell/)
