He's taken up street art?
... from Wild Country's list of UK sponsored climbers. I wonder where he's gone? Perhaps he's given up climbing again.

Not really news. About time though!
Not news in my opinion. Why should somebody getting dropped by their sponsors get any news coverage?
I couldn't care less if he is genuine or a bullshitter. What pisses me off is that many of the ascents he claims were many other climbers goals, and this can be very demotivating. An example - the climbers who were trying A Muerte prior to Rich's 'first ascent' probably never tried the route again once the prize of the first ascent had be claimed. What a shame if Rich's claim was false to have stolen that motivation from other climbers. If he has done the routes, good for him, but claiming to be a world class climber without any proof is eventually going to come back and bite you in the arse.
Si O was pretty strong too.
No he wasn't. See John Watson's hilarious clip of him on the mighty "Atlantic Bridge" (V14 >> V4)
