Ah is it 3 gates and one door then?  Don't know what the first one is...

Who are the other two Orcs?  I though Pasquill and Char...

It's either at Gatehouse Crag or Rolling Gate or I'm once again barking up the wrong tree. It's not Jack's Dimension is it?

B is a door, the others are Straight and Golden Gates.  I'm guessing Rolling Gate / Jack's Dimension.

Good work. Yes A= Strait Gate, B= Knockin on Heavens Door, C= Golden Gate, D= Rolling gate (Jack's Dimension). Three gates one door.

Oops, the perils of google. Obviously I'd have triple checked if the q had been going in the quiz, honest.  :whistle:

Ashamedly I've never been up to Rylstone or Rolling Gate  :-[ It's something I need to rectify.

There was me hoping that the magazine had made the mistake. Thanks anyway for such a nice warm up for tonight, where as always whatever team I'm in will be thoroughly thrashed by the main UKB team... unless by spliting you up they mean using old style quartering.

So we've got Dave Simmonite and Ryan Pasquill correctly ID'd. The man of the moment on the left is not Char. Any other guesses?

Mike Adams innit. Who else towers over the 'Quill?

Just wasted ten minutes on the odd one out round due to correctly identifying the route on El Cap.

Props to Bonjoy and Dave for a top quiz.   :2thumbsup:

Though I do rather associate Cliff Richards with Rain at Wimbledon, not Christmas.

Indeed - some great questions!

I was kicking myself on the drive home over a couple of them, not that a couple of extra points would have helped our terrible score...

Suggestion for next time - could we make case for team score being total number of correct answers divided by number of team members?

Some of them we'd got right - but hadn't actually written down.

"Nah - its not the Virgin Boulder, Nah" etc.  :wall:

Any chance of whacking a few more questions online Bonjoy?

Thanks again to Dave and Jonboy for sorting the quiz out. Some ace questions.  :clap2: but no mime  :'(

I think Nige half-volunteered from our table to do it next year...?!

I was inspired to order the Power of Climbing this morning  :bounce:

They usually do turn up here each year, probably just takes some time to sort it out.

I ordered my copy Tues night, sadly too late for this year's quiz but hopefully it'll help in future endeavours!

As an aside, you can get arrested for that. Rylstone is my favourite Yorkshire crag - something perfect for everyone who can cope with the gentle stroll to get there.

I know  :spank: too much time squeezing things at Brimham probably. I want to go and check out that Great White problem at Crookstones but I always get vetoed on the destination choice.

Agreed, good quiz guys.
Lynn was busy press-ganging me and Nige to put something together. Sure we'll be able to sort something out. Think we'll have to reinstate the mime for next time!

I only went to see Jonboy mime Lowrider.

Some familiarity with the workings of Dave's mind was definitely an advantage though. I challenge Toby and Nige to write a quiz our team can't win...

Mime is so last year.
