I climbed this on a top rope around 1990, probably the same time as Discipline. Didn't lead it as it would have required fiddling around with pre-placed pro which wasn't really our approach.
Climbed Centaur today, big lose block underneath the crack before the roof, havent climbed it in about a year so cant remember if it was there then but it felt like it would go ground/belayer-wards very quickly if yanked on. Climb safe.

This is really on the lower cliff, and should be moved to appear immediately after

Think it is sorted now, Dave, and Cascade Crack re-edited as well. Topo needs re-paginating though.

It was called ‘Frostbite for Wusses’ because the hands were a bit cold to start with, it was mid-winter, July.
Not cold feet, as the description suggests, not sure what that comment is hinting at, there was just some snow on the ground.
The pre placed gear (1 or 2 very dodgy wires) would have popped if Kim (then only 17yrs old) had fallen,
so effectively a kind of solo (grade 20) lead really.
