    Nicely done! Nosferatu was on my 'To do' list many years ago, but never got round to it. Ended up doing 'The Knock, E4 6a instead. Originally planning on a dyno from the horizontal break to the finish, and when I got there, realised just how far it was PMSL.

    Well done acknowledging the pads/spotters. As mentioned below, its E6 without the pads 😉 Interesting question, what's harder, Nosferatu with pads, or The Nock without? Would be good to get your opinion.

    I'm kinda surprised you were carrying nuts, is that just force of habit or did you think you might place some?

      Hi Jeremy, I didn't know if there might have been some smallp placements along the way I hadn't spotted, nuts are pretty light anyway!

    I tried this back in Feb '98 without spotters and mats. I found the boulder part not too bad, if I remember rightly (I mean, I did it many times), but couldn't get the top move as I'm only 165 cm. Yeah, same heigh as Johnny Dawes, but he's not human!

      A pretty similar experience for me but done in the 80’s, similarity in that equally i’m 165 but topped out and have subsequently soloed on quite a few occasions since (need to undercut the top break!)

      @@mikelea3406 cool! I'm sure I tried the undercut but it just didn't work. In the end the disappointment of nailing the bouldering bit (in a different way than my mate Simon Nadin who was taller) but then failing the top got to me!

      Well would be difficult to keep up with Si in any respects. There are some circumstances where height can hinder success and ref Si - despite protracted attempts, Thing on a Spring always evaded me! Some you win, some you loose…..

    Mate, there's no fuckin' way that's E6 even without pads. With the three pads you used you'd be lucky to get E4.
