Lake District Area: Aeons Repeated

Over the Bank Holiday weekend I managed to drag myself there and back across the Aeon buttress at Fairy Steps (Lancashire) to finally (after 7 sessions!) grab myself an ascent of the John Gaskins' limestone link-up Aeons (Font8a+).

Whilst both traverses have individually been repeated I believe this to be the first repeat of the there and back link-up, although Mersyside based strongman Mick Adams may have repeated it a few years ago although we'll have to see if all rules were adhered too, as the jug on the arete left of the final crack is considered out of bounds - this has put pay to atleast two claimed repeats of the reverse of Aeon (7c+). There's a few images below (click for full size)...
