Lake District climbing has been hitting the headlines over the past couple of weeks and rightly so. Neil Gresham's new line Lexicon at Pavey Ark continues a strong Lakeland tradition of bold, intimidating climbing that began decades ago. One of the pioneers of the scene, Rob Matheson, has been looking back at climbs he did in the '70s; imposing and inspiring lines such as Paladin, which he repeated last year, and more recently Holocaust at Dow Crag.
I did my ML at Ghyll Head, back in the early 70s with a mate of yours Rob, Stu Colvin. He was raving about some of the climbs that you were doing at the time.
