Do you have any idea how many times Carrigan tried that route and how many ways he tried it? I saw him try at least two other sequences on that top section at least once but he always came back to the same one. When he fell off the top slab he had climbed it using the hold "Robbie" has in his right hand. Can't be arsed scanning the slides BTW - I don't have a suitable scanner these days anyway - but I had a quick look at a few of them with a hand viewer and he's using the hold I said he used, it's the way he found worked best for him. What you believe does not concern me if you weren't around there at the time, if any people who saw him trying it remember it differently then fair enough, I may be wrong.
