Thanks.

The photos were all taken by Chris Craggs and Mike Hutton while they were wandering along the edges, hence we know the photographer but not the subjects.

A Monday morning bump - we have got four out of eleven so far, but normally we manage to get 100%!

Thanks for looking,

Are they cropped images to show the climber a bit more clearly? As close-up shots some of those are a bit poor for a guidebook.

Of course they are cropped images.

Hi Alan,

Can't help with your list of unknowns but if you're still looking for action shots there are some good ones of me trying Tea for Two on Paul Allen's Flickr page.

E-mail me if you're interested or need further details

Hi Alan,

The climber on Tower face direct is me, taken maybe 6/7 years ago as I recall. I think I contacted Chris to get a copy after seeing it on his blog, but he was out of the country at the time and I failed to chase it up. If I could have a copy, it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Duncan Barrack
