We are taught less about the classics than we once were, so the name of Rhadamanthus (sometimes spelt Rhadamanthys) probably rings few bells.
Together with Minos and Aeacus, he decided the fate of everyone who was brought before him—whether to live forever in Elysium, or be banished to the underworld—and in judging was able to detect all the sins of one’s life, no matter how well hidden.
So Rhadamanthus became a byword for justice in its most severe and rigorous form.

Ursus, introduced by a tipstaff, of placid but severe expression, entered, perceived the doctors, and immediately in his own mind gave to each of them the name of the judge of the infernal regions represented by the bust placed above his head.

I perused the rough guide I had (passed to me by a so-far patient David Fasulo for beta-testing) and initially thought to take James up the classic Wiessner’s Rib (5.6).
But my lead head isn’t what it used to be, and James hasn’t been climbing outside for many years (his lead climbing experience is limited to following on two ascents somewhere in the Blue Mountains outside of Sydney), so I changed my mind and aimed for an easy climb called Rhadamanthus Corner (5.4).
Before Leon and I knew about existing named climbs in this area, we actually climbed up Rhadamanthus Corner last December, in the snow.
