One of the most humble, unstated and talented guys in British climbing.  Legend.

'Leap RP'? Sounds like cheating to me

Nice one Rob. I remember hearing a power-roar at Dumby years ago and walking around the corner to see you topping out Firefight. Up to that point I hadn't had any idea that a) Rob Sutton was a man with a power-roar or b) that he could boulder 8B, both of which probably say something about the everyday demeanour and understatedness of Rob Sutton.

On a separate note, is it just me that finds it strange that having a hidden logbook is considered so noteworthy that it's the first question of an interview? Like, why would anyone not want a full public record of everything they climb, unfathomable!

Excellent. Congratulations Rob. Only climbed with him once a long time ago but apparent that he was super strong but also super busy which got in the way of his climbing . Worth also mentioning that his background includes hard bouldering and being in the British team.

Awesome work Rob - I think I remember mainly some fun times in Cresciano and Font, way back when
