Great conversation - saw him many years ago in late 80's and he'd always apologise about the posters being the same - Western Cym

In reply to UKC News:

Utterly brilliant. Virtually in a class of his own for breadth of experience combined with modesty.

In reply to Gordon Stainforth:

I'm with you Gordon, could listen to the man for hours.

Loving the series

In reply to UKC News:

absolute fvcking hero.

also saw him in the late 80s when he still had the long hair and beard, and tho i already new i was going to be a climber, seeing him made me think why.

agreed, its the mans breadth of experience that is unequalled. baffin in the 70s says it all.

some great photos too.
can anyone name all those guys in the pic in wales (or wherever) from the 60s. id love to know who they are.

In reply to UKC News: he's giving a lecture in Pateley Bridge, Nidderdale 22nd September £15 entry fee.

In reply to UKC News: Brilliant stuff - great to hear from such an absolute legend

They were a slightly older generation than me but I recognise four or five of the faces. Think its Dan Meadows fourth in from R end of the line up.
