Andy about to begin the bold climbing on the delicate and technical second pitch Stunning views from the comfy belay at the end of the spectacular fourth pitch Andy embarking on the crack for thin fingers – short, greasy and brutal! Pete Winterbottom cruising up the stunning corner pitch on Steeple, inspirational stuff!
