Classic! I started climbing with a guy called Mickey Rooney, who got someone to write 'right' and 'left' on his jeans, just so as he'd be sure which was which when he was pissed. Mickey became... wait for it... a bank manager. < Shudders >
Om was always the piglet of that lot, especially when given HVS 5b, which it definitely ain't. So innocuous. So enticing. You'd merrily solo up to that top break only to think, "Oh shit!" Then, as Tom found out, the fun would start.
Had to scarper early and probably missed brilliant weather. But, as Arnie said, "I'll be back!" So much still to do oop North.
Will definitely be in touch. Was great to catch up with you and meet Tom. How long before we're relegated to belayers?
All best wishes,
Mick
