Has anyone who ordered it direct from vertebrate got theirs yet?

all the UK orders and most of the overseas ones have been sent out. some seem to be taking ages, even the ones we managed to squeeze out on Monday.

PM me if it doesn't come in today's post.

It's arrived thanks Cofe.

finished it today, brilliant book from climbers perspective, it just shows if your super focussed and determined you can reach the top, some great stories re ben m & johnny d

adam p · January 30, 2009, 11:10:41 pm

was enviously reading all the comments and wondering where my copy had got to.....
then neighbour just came round and said postman had stuck it through her door instead...kindly woman asked what it was and so i tried, after a few glasses of wine, to explain jerry 'the ledge' moffat...
she listened then, gave me one of those looks that says 'don't understand, but obviously means something to you' and left...
but hey, topped up glass and settling down with book.
cheers

Eddies · January 31, 2009, 11:01:17 am

She knows

A closet cranker back in her day for sure

Picked up a signed copy from Cotswold's in Liverpool yesterday(thank's Si), read it cover to cover. Went to bed, got up, started reading it again. It should be subtitled 'How to get 110% psyched to pull your very hardest'. Brilliant

grimer · February 01, 2009, 10:24:02 am

Ah, so great you all enjoyed it, and thanks for saying

I found the story mega motivating, a real inspiring character.

Was round at Vertebrate the other day and Jerry was getting his slideshow for the works ready. He had a little bit of footage of him and Ben training in his cellar. The bit on the speedball is hilarious.

Tim Broughtonshaw · February 01, 2009, 10:39:10 am

not sure i can to be honest mate. only device i think you can get data of the sky plus box is a video and that is currently in a state of disrepair. Unless anyone else has any info?

watched it yesterday, proper cheesy. how old/ into his climbing career was jerry then when he did you bet?

Found it hilarious when he was deliberately puffing and panting and looking back with mock nervousness before he started on the roof.

Thank you to everyone involved

I am now super psyched. I shall become Moffatt reincarnate.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to train my back two.
