man. I would just like to inform you that the infamous psyclone chickened
out of following me on a climb today. I cannot remember the name of
the route but it was a HVS 4C (Paradise in the Picture House??). Andy
or Frankie would be able to dish out the dirt more accurately. I think
this information should be fired all over the world. So that people
can know the softer side of psyclone. Regards,Pat" |
