Yes, I do realise that, but if he can get most of it right then he can go back over it and get the rest right, non? It's the professional face of his writing ability. It's not some hurriedly scribbled down piece of rubbish, surely? Like one of my UKC posts.
He also wrote one of the best pieces of writing I've ever read on climbing, for Climb a couple of years ago. About the small joys you appreciate upon returning from a climb.
I do look forward to the book.
