Is there someone out there who can access and scan the Climbing Magazine (1996) article on the 1st Ascent of "When Hell was in Session"
I would be much obliged.

I had initially planned to call it Diamonds in the Sky but Pete was calling it WHWiS while we were climbing it and somehow the name stuck. He drilled 2 big rivet ladders and I got the best nailing pitch ever in between, the Yellow Planaria.
The A5 pitch is short but has overhanging expanding death blocks that were pouring out sand when I was nailing. Pete said the wall around him was shaking, he thought we were going to die, I didn't really care either way.
I still have that hammer in the cover shot. It's a one of a kind homemade tool from England that I got from a guy in camp 4 who sold me all his gear when he said he'll never try a wall again. It had a shitty handle so I got a nice one from a hardware store in Fresno and put that on. I wonder how much I could Ebay it for? Belongs in a museum.
