The Notorious Hooking on Pitch 4 of Jolly Roger
The hard climbing on Jolly Roger comes at you fairly quickly, and it doesn't let up much, either. Get out your talon hooks, duct tape and screamers for this pitch, mate!
The only thing that doesn't make it totally suicidal is that it's not quite vertical. This photo was taken by the renowned Heinz Zak as he zipped by on the fixed lines up to Heart Ledges.
