The guy who used to work at that climbing shop, Terry Tremble.

In reply to Constant Solo:

Someone like Al would have to be quite Phizacklea capable to become a climber

In reply to wercat:

For us South West yolkels:

Ken Palm-er (not that there's much of that on Ferocity Wall and Ken's routes - apart from the heinous Blue Sky)!!

Dave Senderson

Brian Hang-on (strangely apt)

Ripped Meek (perhaps stretching it slightly)

In reply to Chris Harris:

Mark leach

?...! 6 likes too, what's the connection?

In reply to Constant Solo:

Rap Carrington

In reply to Removed User:

Joe Brown. Same name as a climbing shop!

In reply to Rock to Fakey:



Leaches stick to things?

In reply to Timmd:
Yeah but they don't climb, they just stick there sucking, i can't imagine mark got up cry freedom etc doing that, but suckers would defo help with shaking out + climbing, but it would not b considered a clean ascent. He wasn't an aid climber.
If someone had barnacle for a surname, it wouldn't be climbing related would it?... , well, actually sort of a bit better than leach, at least they stick to Rock!
Sorry to spoil the fun
There must b a climber with barnacle for a surname? Or sloth? Monk(ey) ?

In reply to Rock to Fakey:

Christ, I bet you're the centre of all the fun at parties.

In reply to Chris Harris:
Cheers ... i didn't know they could do that.

I'm/ was/ good at psy-trance partying on acid / mushrooms, in a field / woods / quarry, followed by a touch of Katy now n then, it's been a while though, yrs, house parties i do feel very out of place, + becomes a wallflower.. Hey! Wallflower... thats climbing related.
How's the rotator cuff thing going.? .. I've got that too, increasing the theraband stuff from a couple of times a wk to every other day or as many days u can fit it in actually makes a difference, but i'm still not fixed... Will b looking into MRI + bone spurs surgery etc. myself soon perhaps!
Any climbers called R.Cuff?

In reply to Rock to Fakey:




Happy to help. The rotator cuff injury evolved into frozen shoulder, which is a barrel of fun. I had keyhole surgery on it & it's OK now.

It's an interesting experience to watch your own operation live on screen.

In reply to Constant Solo:

Got a great one....

Arnis Strapcams!

In reply to Constant Solo:

Chris Bombingtons

In reply to Constant Solo:

I'm frankly amazed that Stone Elworthy hasn't had a mention yet. Or did I miss it? What a guy.

In reply to Constant Solo:

That famous Rockfax editor Mark Glacier ....

In reply to Constant Solo:

Can't believe we've not had the king of the swingers, I mean new routes, Gary Gibbon.

In reply to Constant Solo:

I've climbed with a guy whos real first name is Stone. That was about 20 years ago, I've seen him at the tor a couple of years ago and I think he's fairly frequently found there, not famous but possibly been around a bit to be known.

In reply to Kevster:

Head Stone. Wasn't he killed in a terrible accident?

In reply to Sean Kelly:

Mate of mine was once asked whether he was a cliff climber, to which he replied "no, I'm Pete"

In reply to Constant Solo:

Always thought Petra Klinger was a good climbing name until I realised it was actually Klingler.

In reply to Kevster:

That'd be Stone Elworthy as I mentioned above

In reply to Constant Solo:

Phil McCracken.

In reply to Constant Solo:

Has 8C/+ boulderer Christian Core been mentioned yet?

In reply to Constant Solo:

Crimpin Waddy.

In reply to Constant Solo:

I was climbing with a lady today called Stella and was tempted to ask. "Were you named after the lager?"

In reply to Constant Solo:

Ana Glypta - always sticks to walls...

In reply to Al Doig:


Is she related to Chip Wood?

In reply to MischaHY:


Is that the short guy with the incredibly hairy ears? Every time I went down the Tor from about 1997 to 2010 he was there. Every time.
