In reply to willackers: Will, congrats again - Requiem is just such a brilliant line. It really has to be one of the best looking single pitches in the UK.
As you don't seem to mind this thread slipping into a Parnaby-reminiscences-thread, I'll chuck my one in quickly. I was also at uni with Craig in Glasgow. He was a year or two behind and in his very nice way seemed to treat the people slightly older in the climbing club with respect despite us not really having anything to teach him. Due to my job in a climbing shop I had some RPs and brass HBs, and Craig wanted to do an E5 at Ratho where they were the crux protection. I was very happy to lend them to him but he insisted I would be better at placing them (as they were mine seemed to be his logic?!?) and talked me into abbing the route and preplacing them for him. He then shot off up the route with me belaying him - totally terrified having never belayed someone on anything harder than E1. He got above 'my' RPs and started sketching about trying to work out the crux. I was now doubly terrified, that he might fall and the that the gear I had placed would blow and I would be responsibly for breaking Parnaby. Of course he promptly fell off. Fortunately my placements worked - I think far more to my surprise than Craig's - he lowered off and got it on his second go.
I do remember his attempts at winter climbing weren't always as smooth. Either he fell onto his mate Tommy's head, or Tommy fell on Craig's head whilst trying to do the crux of Deep Cut Chimney in Glencoe. They were both in the pub the next tuesday giggling about it though. Happy times! Hope Craig and Tommy are doing well whatever those lads are up to these days.
