In reply to all the dislikers; Ron is *extremely* modest and with all due (and deserved) respect to his greatness as a climber and as a Top Bloke and personal friend it was difficult to extract more than the briefest of answers and certain Qs were simply not answered at all. The invitation - as usual, was also extended for subject matter coming back the other way and on this occasion I drew a blank.
These interviews are meant to be no more than a little reminiscent fun and 'the microphone' or opportunity lies solely with the interviewee to fill in the gaps and make up the allotted word count.
I can take the personal slights as am old & daft enough but make no apology whatsoever for mentioning and showing our books as to many of us (can't really talk for the others) I'm as proud of mine as any silly new route put up.
BTW; The next two are with a *right* pair pair of chatterboxes.
Cheers,
AP.
