In Wales, Dave Noden repeated Klem Loskot's other hard test-piece Wrestling with an Alligator, at Font 8B. Chris Daves told about this:
"Dave climbed this with his usual flare, not actually wanting to come down once at the top! This is the first British ascent of this problem - well done that man on one of the most impresive hard ascents of the year."
The pair of die-hard boulderers had a great trip to the beautiful wooded area, sleeping out in the trees in temperatures of -10.
