Don't think this has been posted, but apologies if it has

http://www.bbc.co.uk/southyorkshire/content/articles/2006/06/02/jerry_moffa...

A bit dumbed down to appeal to a non-climbing audience, but some interesting stuff nonetheless

Suspect the hard route he refers to might be Little Plum at Stoney rather than Little Plumb at Burbage North - it's difficult, but not that difficult !

I think that someone at the BBC has been plugging names into our route databases.

I was just about to say the same. I am easily amused...

Oddest thing I found in that article = Why mention UIAA grades?

"I did a lot of new routes all over the world, and they'd typically be the hardest, so I did the first grade 9+ the first grade 10-, did a lot of new grades in different places and quick assents."

Ulysses, Messiah, and L'Horla no?

In reply to beastofackworth: *hijack* Life assurance doesn't seem too bad really. Maybe slightly easier if you have shorter legs. Could do with some cool weather between now and friday...

Anyone know what he's doing now ? Does he still climb or has his body given up on him ? And what about the likes of Fawcett, Dawes,......

In reply to daveinfrance: Saw him on a 'how much is my house worth' programme - Was shocked - he's crap at diy!

Jerry's into surfing, Ron's into Paragliding and Johnny's just Johnny.

In reply to Glyn Jones: he refers to climbing in " the Peaks " - so it`s official, if Jerry calls it the Peaks, then it must be right ...
In reply to lummox: The peaks? Surely you mean Moffatt Crag?

Cheers
