Thanks Mikl, the Rusty Baillie image revived memories of climbing Cenotaph Corner in 1988 to mark my fiftieth year. It looks bigger and more serious in that photo than I remember but I did take an hour to lead that single pitch (Time-stamped photos taken by Denis Kemp showed this, somewhat to my subsequent surprise) although at the time it didn't seem that long.
Time flies when you're having fun ;-)
