Patch lives in London with a lingerie designer and their son, and works in rope access. He climbs a bit but not seriously.

If you want to 'get fussy' I doubt anyone has ever onsighted a hard grit route. I tend to draw the line where someone has made any effort to get beta on something. Ryan also has a famously bad memory - he forgot he'd done Brad Pit once. By any measure though, his record of hard grit onsights/flashes is unequalled.
