Hi Stu
I respect your opinion but I have a broad interpretation of what is news. Not all news items appeal to all.
Dean's solo was the third....but they way I approached it in the News was to give a little history about the route which may be of interest to some...especially those who are new to climbing.....they have probably never seen Heinz Zack's original photos.
> Mick, if you are going to start putting things like this in the 'news' then you should be reporting a lot more about the efforts of British climbers
You are right, and this is what I am trying to do. At the moment...I have lots of UKC work (and other things) so am limited by time. As UKC grows it would be beneficial to have a full time dedicated News Editor so we can be more pro-active rather than just relying on harvesting news from other sources, word of mouth and people emailing us.
But do look down the left hand column of the news for August and July and we are trying our best to recognise the achievements of UK climbers.

If you have any news that you think would be of interest to the broad church of UKC readers please email us.
All the best,
Mick
