The second pitch is a textbook example of the benefit of Jerry Lewis footwork and Wormdrive body positioning, techniques I've long employed in conjunction with what Croft described as "baffling footwork". I originally graded the second pitch 10d/11a. Goes to show how off the mark gradings can be.
There was a brief period in time when I'd been doing a lot of third classing and feeling relatively fit that I speculated about climbing the Highway unroped. The climbing seemed reasonable enough but I just couldn't wrap my head around the unroped part.
Steve turned all our heads when he pulled that one off!
Alex blew my mind when he did the whole Northern Lights combo, Sick!
Will's solo of the Highway seemed only natural....for him.
Nice work Steve!
Rite of passage?

Wow! Powerful writing! Thanks for bumping this Roy.
I have felt that ghost-hand when I thought I was a goner.
Reading that part brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for the reminder.

probably the fourth time i’ve read this over the years... and every time there’s been enough time since the last time that i get to read it mostly for the first time...
and each time it’s been more than worth my time. :)
thanks as always mr. seats.
