well stu we used tube chocks and wedged in al bongs. sometimes we didn't use anything , eg on Fuddy Duddy. I once soloed peppercorner at mt york because noone had any big gear and i was bored waiting in line to do viparete.

I have a lovely set of 4, 4.5, 5 & 6" tubes in my dog* box at home. Havent been aired for 3 decades. Were lovely & rattly when you went beyond them on the rope...

when Phil Armstrong & i did QVic route in 77 we used the old 'alternating bong' trick to get up the horrid off width, i think that was the only part of the route we left aided-with good reason.
