"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

A warm up for Belle View BastionA guess at the date - was around then - and I finished off the day by leading Belle View Bastion, my first 'very severe' lead.

Wet but funClimbed just after the rain, so most of it was quite wet (except the Knight's move, thankfully), which made it feel a fair bit harder than HVD. Great day out, fun route, glorious views...

Classic routeWith Colin, Ken & Andy. Some great moves and situations. Luckily for us the rock was bone dry and the weather like summer. Brill! Reminded of an earlier ascent in September '78 with Colin, Ken & Blackie.
