Extremely Scouse? Yup. Footwork god? Yup. "Ian and John Dunne have the best footwork in British climbing." (Stevie Haston)
I still smart with embarrassment at that fateful day, so long ago, when it was decided t'wixt Ian's girlfriend and mine that I'd 'take him climbing'. Off into the Peak we wandered, finally finding ourselves beneath the coyly named 'Easy Pickings'. Wot could possibly go wrong?
Pore 'ole Stevie. Cruelly denied his place in Crags Top 100 climbers (did he come in at 101?) And now this. When will his genius be recognised? It's time the lad learned not to be so bashful and speak up for himself. Is there no justice in this world?
