Welsford 1995



Here's a photo dating back to 1995 (wow! already 15 yrs!). Leading is Mitch Leblanc on the classic "Leviathan" in Welsford, NB. The funny thing about this photo is that it actually shows Mitch "Z-clipping" the second bolt. Belaying is Chris Jones. This inseparable duo sent all the hard lines in Welsford then began putting up testpieces of their own such as Access Denied (5.13a), What's a paradigm (5.12+), Perfect (5.12b), and more.
