Not exactly boulderers, but hopefully of interest all the same:

Due to popular demand the Lescar Lectures are back this winter. To date we've booked three nights:

October 12th - Stephen Venables - Higher Than The eagle Soars
November 10th - Kenton Cool - 5 Years Since Sheffield & Not A Boulder In Sight
December 14th - Adele Penington - A Year In The Death Zone

All lectures start at 20.30 (please arrive by 20.00). Tickets cost £7 (£6 for normal concessions). More info and online ticket sales available at http://www.heason.net/Events/

The events are supported by Virgin Active and UKClimbing. Turn up to the first two and you'll be automatically offered a free one-week-trial at the local Virgin gym!

I'm sure the lectures will be good but I cant help feeling that you are trying to sell the merits of the Bob Graham round to Usain Bolt 

Good Luck

No Bonnington, no sale.

At the risk of sounding negative, I must admit I'd rather nail my face to a galloping horse's hooves than sit through another never-ending kenton cool lecture with the same misjudged anti-bouldering "joke" repeated every 5 minutes.

[Jaspersharpe]

Having never met him, but having read about him on the internet, I've always had the nagging suspicion that Kenton Cool was, perhaps, a bit of a cock. May I take this as confirmation?

[Dolly]

I "met" him at pinches wall once.
He muttered something like "So people do this for fun do they ?" under his breath.
I walked away

[slackline]

That was rather condescending!

You mean me or him ?

Sorry, Kenton was being condescending.  I'm sure others look at what he does and think its a waste of time, shame he hasn't realised this yet and feels the need to belittle others pass-times/interests.

[Johnny Brown]

He's shit hot at walking up snow, sucking Os and dragging a punter though. And he does it for cash! No wonder he thumbs his nose at bouldering for fun.

[cofe]

I still think I'd be grabbing the nails and hammer and heading down the stables.

So people do this for fun, do they?

[Doylo]

Well he looks like he's enjoying himself:


Who's the daddy!
Must feel a long way from Raven Tor.

[Johnny Brown]

Yeah! Sit start this, motherfuckers!

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

Looks like he's pretty happy with dropping off a load of stuff at a remote branch of Oxfam.

[dave]

the lengths some people go to avoid having to do a hard move eh.

[Stubbs]

I want those mitts for this winter at the cliff

[Jaspersharpe]

So that's a yes then. Thought so.
