Am I the only one who needs to scroll left and right to see the questions?

[grahamhoey]

OK people, last set of questions. Answers in a few days time:

[Grubes]

18a Jonny dawes
18c ron fawcett rock athlete
18d Paul Pritchard deep play

19b nikwax
19c mountain hardware
19d edelrid
19e evolv

[Neil F]

1 f  J. Dawes
4 a Froggatt Pinnacle
12 f Al Evans or Geoff Birtles

JD - yes, though we established that some time ago.  What was the (slate) route?

Froggatt Pinnacle - yes

AE or GB?  Nope

[Neil F]

Some missing ones from the first lot :-

6(e) Tom Randall - Nahhan (the thing near Make It Snappy)?
6(f) Someone had already guessed Caminati, I think it might be Superstition or The Promise at Burbage North
8(b) Blackpool Promenade at Almscliff?

Also, total guess at 3(h) - Sardine and 5(e) - Wings of Unreason.

6e - yep

6f - yep - it's the Pearson route, whichever that one is.  The Promise...?

8b - Nope

Sardine & Wings?  Yes and Yes.  Well done!

[Neil F]

8b - Golden Mile?

Am I the only one who needs to scroll left and right to see the questions?

Golden Mile?  Indeed!  (Which crag?).  Of course the clue was in the picture, not only the tower, but also the section of lights in the middle which read "Golden Mile".... doh!

And no, you aren't the only one.  That is what happens when you leave posting the quiz to a 50+ year old, rather than take it on yourselves, you bunch of reluctant teenage techies....

I think there are a few around, but seeing this is a Peak Quiz (although a lot of the answers aren't Peak based) I think there's one on Chee Tor.

Have you tried zooming out!

From a 50+ non-techie!

16A The Thing, Cromlech?

[SA Chris]

That works Graham, need my bifocals to rad it now though.

17B - David Flanagan http://theshortspan.com/  (I know it's not, but sure it's one of the old school climbers - Collie?)

There is indeed. Good one Chris.

[Neil F]

16A The Thing, Cromlech?

Correct!

[Stabbsy]

17(d) is about Beau Geste, John Allen is the author (from the Extreme Rock essay)

17(c) sounds familiar - I wondered if it was Livesey from when he climbed with Hot Henry Barber, but it's not in the Extreme Rock essay for Dream Liberator (just checked) so probably wrong on that one.

[Neil F]

Beau Geste correct.

17(C) needs more work...

[grahamhoey]

re 17B - definitely old school - a v interesting guy - did so much in climbing and outside of it. As a clue, he ended up climbing with a wooden leg.

[SA Chris]

Winthrop Young

[Neil F]

Winthrop Young

Yes!  Nice one Chris (or did you Google it....?) 

[SA Chris]

Nope. Using reference docs (like Extreme Rock or the Internet) would be cheating.

I remembered it mentioned somewhere before;

at the bottom (I've now googled it, obviously!)

[Stabbsy]

Nope. Using reference docs (like Extreme Rock or the Internet) would be cheating.

I should point out that I knew the Beau Geste one without looking in Extreme Rock!

Re: 17(c) - totally wrong or in the right ballpark (wrong route maybe)? I don't remember the first bit of the quote, it's just the "While I'm not resting at the peg, he tells me he used it. I'm getting to like him." line that I thought was Livesey.

Right series of books. Wrong volume. Wrong crag. Wrong climber. Wrong vintage.

The quote is by a famous writer describing the second (I think) ascent of a famous route, in the presence of the first ascensionist......"he"!

Does that help?!

[Stu Littlefair]

It's driving me mad 17(c). I remember that passage of text so vividly but can't remember which article. Is the route great wall?

[webbo]

Isn't 17c Ed Drummond on Great Wall in Hard Rock refering to Pete Crew who was talking him up it.
