As many of you will know a Christmas tradition in the Peak District is to climb Christmas Crack at Stanage, Derbyshire.
Dick Turnbull, conquerer of all the winter North Faces in the Alps, owner of Outside, has been a constant at this celebration for the last twenty years and if you have been there you will no doubt have been 'pushed' by Dick to make a speedy ascent.
Dick had a hip replacement this year, and there were serious complications. But he is a climber and he fought back.
Here he is leading Christmas Crack this morning, in great spirits and great company .
