| Wings of Steel
Pete, on the right (standing with Mark), about to head up onto Cosmos with Tom after giving up on Wings of Steel. It should be mentioned that Pete and Tom moved over to Cosmos for two good reasons. First, this was a route reputed to have horrible anchors that needed replacing, and the guys certainly did have lots of anchor-replacement gear originally intended for Wings of Steel. Second, Cosmos was a route Pete hadn't climbed that happened to be very nearby the huge stash of gear that had been intended for the Wings of Steel second ascent. So, it was a natural choice for Pete and Tom to move their efforts to Cosmos after deciding to not do the SA of Wings of Steel. Pete, regardless of what you say about your "bollocks," you da man!
