We did hold hands and then went for a romantic meal for two at Alex’s local.
Couple of corrections…I’m sure that rusty, bendy thing you rigged of was an extremely old piton, not an I bolt and probably not recommended!
Also, re-reading the NFTFH description describes the route to the drainpipe (what you called the claustrophobic water filled tube) as been accessed via the squeeze down the left hand wall (and not the squeeze between the boulders). I never tried the left hand wall way…did you give it a go before taking your route Alex? Was it worse? It didn’t look nice.
Still not sure how the last pitch was meant to be rigged. Need to buy some more laminating pouches!
