The horror!

Must have been awful for Mark Leach belaying, watching Andy get so close to losing everything.

One of the best ever descriptions of climbing in the death zone.

So glad it worked out OK.

Thanks Mick et al.

Indeed it truly was Mick and yes, Mark was there for three hours. He recounts slipping of the boulder as the tide swept in but had just enough slack out he didn't pull me off.

Best to all and thanks UKC.

Andy.

Ooh cheers teh_mark, appreciated, and the one pound twenty pence royalty payment means I can afford solids to eat this week.

On a wider note; Am a tad perplexed - given the [mere] 24 Amazon reviews and the magazine write-ups from UK, USA, Canada, South Africa [sadly not Aus] were so positive and the Evening Sends 'Lakes & Shrivel Dick' Andrew Bisharat reproduced over the pond and now this Bells chapter are actually two of my favorites. 'Snookered,,,' was actually written in a 14hr sitting throughout the day, evening & night and I was blind drunk. Discovered it in Drafts two days later and couldn't quite believe how [I thought] well it read!

I hope you do enjoy 'Punk,,,' its kinda 'different'.

Kindest regs,

Andy.
