In reply to ian h: i've seen stuart camerons name in some write ups recently. heard nothing on the others.

you didn't come route setting today? are you broken from yesterday? my back muscles are wrecked, spent most of day on back wall. done a cool traverse.

In reply to ian h:
Planet Fear had an interview with Stuart Cameron recently, I'm sure the article is still available, called somthing like what happened to the young ones.
OP Ed 30 Dec 2002
In reply to ian h: Jasper Sharpe gave up climbing to become an accountant in 94 or 95 I think. Stuart Cameron met his dream girl and then gave up around 96. He now runs a successful business in Sheffield. Jason Myers had a few quiet years but I heard he may be making a comeback of sorts??

In reply to ian h: Dave Turner's now living in the Ardeche in France. Still climbing, I think.

brett 31 Dec 2002
In reply to John2: is dave turner the one who did chimera at high rocks?
 John2 31 Dec 2002
In reply to brett: Not sure about Chimera, but he certainly put up a number of hard sandstone routes. Author of the 1989 sandstone guide.

In reply to ian h:

Stuart is now a succesful businessman and family man in Sheffield but was recently at the Foundry and was heard muttering about starting climbing again.

Jason is still climbing (very well) but spends most of his free time surfing.

ian h 02 Jan 2003
In reply to John2: def did chimera. but what about unforgetable has to be the most underated route on sandstone
OP johncoxmysteriously 03 Jan 2003
In reply to ian h:

Not by me. How the f**k does that work, then?! Not that I've ever really seen it dry enough to find out.
 Graham Ad 03 Jan 2003
In reply to ian h:
Dave Turner certainly did Chimera but was it not the great Paul Hayes who put up Unfogettable??
ian h 04 Jan 2003
In reply to Graham Ad: yes you are correct paul hayes did it first turner failed with both hands on the top. but then there is always renascence. not as hard but what would i know i have never seen it in good enough condition to try it
