Putting a photo of yourself on the front cover? The ego has landed

In reply to Sean_J:

That isn’t Franco on the cover - it’s Mark Rankine...

In reply to PaulJepson:I was. there taking photos of Mark the day he repeated it unfortunately I was taking my shots from the ground as Mark had travelled up with another photographer Mike Cheque who got first dibs on where to shot from. Unfortunately he choose the exact place I would have chosen and conciquently got what I agree is probably the carlsberg of all cover shot. To be fare I think Mike did a much better job than I could have, but boy I would have love the chance to have that shot in my gallery.

Fantastic. Lovely remote spots & some great photos. And its to be hoped all the descents are 'decent' like Camp Hill Chimney (p. 297), for example!

In reply to Rob Greenwood - UKClimbing:

Fair enough, can't see the cover that well anyway

In reply to LBrown:

Obviously the choice of champions

In reply to UKC Gear:

Wow. Never been there, but now I want to go! 

In reply to Sean_J:

Haha, that's a strange way of apologising. 😂

amazing guide book, ive very recently bought it and been using lots out in the moors, the crag selecta is a great little addition to it as well, great for getting a general idea of each climbing area.
