Kate Whitaker has headpointed Life Assurance, E6 6b at Burbage South in the Peak District, England. Katy top roped it on her first go and then lead it within about 20min of first getting on it.

Life Assurance was first climbed in 1988 by John Dunne. It is only 8m, and the excerpt from the Rockfax guide describes it as; "Thin smearing up the steepening slab above the curving crack of Charlie’s Crack. Runners in the crack become less and less useful as the 'two-move-wonder' crux approaches. If you top-rope it first, you will wish you hadn't!"
