In reply to UKC Articles:
I happened to be out for a walk on Ben Nevis at Easter 1976 (aged 17) and sure enough MacInnes, Chouinard, Cunningham, Braithwaite, etc, etc were there making a film.
There was a guy at the CIC who I didnt recognise but was one of the 'stars', and he was feeling ill so had decided not to climb that day, however he asked if I wanted to do an easy route with him, so we did Bob Run. And thats how I did my first ever winter route and I never did find out who he was.
