Alex does leave something of an impression that's for sure.

I took him to Craig Doris last year and sent him up the 'classic' E3 - Cripple Creek. He loved it, but that said, he seems to love everything when it comes to climbing: easy/hard, loose/solid, sea/mountain. Whilst in Wales he just wanted to be shown fun stuff to do, he didn't really seem to mind what it was.

Quite a refreshing approach...and yes...an uncanny vocal resemblance to the Terminator...
