Belayed a mate who will remain nameless on Snow blind after he'd had Xmas drinks for lunch earlier that day (had nothing to do with cams ultimately ripping!!) but he flamed out after the crux and rested on an old solid-stem forged Wild Country friend. Continued on, but flamed out again and rested again on the next piece of gear, again, an old-school friend. He's 90kg, so while he's resting I'm keeping my head down concentrating on keeping the rope locked off when I hear a commotion and Gerry (oops, I said I wouldn't mention his name!) hits me on the head. Pulled both cams and was saved one metre from the ground by the fixed pin (which, I believe has pulled twice before). Very lucky boy!! No idea why top, and subsequently second cams pulled, as he was sitting relatively still, resting.
