In reply to goldmember: He did another 'performance Art' for GTV at one of their on site Arts Festivals, he chipped out a few bricks on a 40ft tower in the GTV site, bolted it and climbed it on the hour throughout the festival, I wasn't filming on that one but I went up to say hello. He announced to the crowd that Granads very own star climber was going to climb his 'route' instead of him this time.
I protested and said I didn't have any boots, it's ok you can borrow mine he said, I asked him how hard it was, Oh it's only about 6a!
Great in front of all my mates and colleagues, let alone the crowds, I now had to climb the route in borrowed boots.
Fortunately I did it , to great applause from the crowd, John was laughing like a maniac when I was lowered down.
I have other John stories too
