Old Friends

Climbed by John Allen at the age of 14, this route marked a step up in standards after the Joe Brown /Don Whillans era. Brave, strenuous and technical. Start in the corner and head up and left to reach the flake. Get a cam in here, which may or may not hold (but note they did not exist in 1973), then launch up and right (crux) to reach the break and finish more easily.
