Dear Keith

No you won't, I was not impressed with climbing there 35 years ago, so I won't be back.

In reply to Keith Roughley: I hate young kiddies who have been climbing a year and who pull loads harder than I do. I always console myself that they'd be stuffed in the hills but then they go and prove me wrong. Gits...

In reply to Simon: Yes, obviously. I do for enjoyment, but equally I would be pleased to be leading 7a at 43!!

In reply to Keith: I didn't take it in a condescending manner.

And there I was thinking f8b+ at the spritely age of 56 is good going. As reported last month.

Nah man.

7a is as far as I ever see me getting (if I bother to train). Realistic, not disillusioned!

Try Foinavon instead, much more fun
