This is the weird shouldering crux of the climb. Take a very big cam, a friend 6 I think. I borrowed a Robot 6 and it did not touch the sides uncammed, which led to a 45m runout on very awkward rock.

Might be awkward and runout but it still looks well cool and you did it! we told you you could solo =) In my book a 45 m runout is a solo (bet you the rope was a nuisance in that chimney).

Nice shot and rock but it could do with something to give it some sense of scale. I've really no idea what I'm looking at there.

Agree on scale. Just above the pinnacle of dark shadow if you use a magnifying glass you'll see my arm! - I'm about 40m up still without gear but with the hardest stuff behind. I did stop earlier for a scale pose but my girlfriend said, 'not until you get some gear in'... ah well.
