Have you been asking folk on UKC? Surely someone back in blighty must have a copy.

The falling off clip is Masters of the Universe at Burbage isn't it? Seems most people clip a runner on the end of the abseil rope these days but it looks like you didn't do that, in which case the flight must've been fun the first time you took it. Similarly, while Looking for Ian Smith on UKC I came across a photo of Martin Veale leaping across "Big Air" at Stanage which he missed first go and threaded the gully remarkably without injury. In the logbook entries for that route now it seems everyone either stacks up 10 bouldering mats in the slot or they wait for a big winter snow dump to fill it and then boulder it and claim to have done it. Something missing from their experience methinks.

Cheers, Karl
