if you've got a big shit in the pipeline i suggest you get on the big white telephone with a copy of the 1989 stanage guide - although i tell a lie it was 1977 not the '80s.

the lightning thing wasn't a famous climber - it was some bloke who hung around the valley tripping his tits off on acid the whole time. can't remember his name but am pretty sure its in a 'Largo' article in Climber a month or two back - will dig around tonight to see if i can find it

to be honest you can look stuff up or google if you really have to, but bear in mind that googleing on some of the answers means theres a 100% chance you'll get it right, but not on others. use at your descretion!

i'm surprised no-one has guessed the BBC on (there can't be more than 7 well known female brit climbers can there?!) or know the 7 guineas one.
