A Ben Nevis belay.

The image was taken on Observatory Buttress in Jan 07, at the top of the 1st pitch. The pitch of 55m had only been protected by 1 wire, a hook and a piton. The belay is a half cammed and fully hammered hex, a tied off angle and knife blade, all equalised.

What are you complaining about?

That knife blade looks bomber! (:

Re: What are you complaining about?

I've certainly belayed from worse! It took ages to find anything and the final result was better than expected. Which certainly made me feel a happier man!
