(Everest, not so much)
Chuffed that everyone's been enjoying the Ron stuff! As promised I've had a dig about to see if I've got any other old stuff and turned up a few:Everest The Hard Way - mid 80s (ish) narrated and starring Chris BoningtonLakeland Rock - mid 80s againand something that I've just called Joe and Don on Cemetary Gates - obviously it's Brown and Whillans and from what I remember it was filmed just before Don diedI there's any interest in these I'll try and get them on Youtube or, failing that, stick them on WeTransfer again.Let me know if you want them!

That won't spoil it, it will add to it! Get watching.
Pete livesy climbing downhill racer (and calling his critics out) and Wellington crack. London wall, etc, gordale, etc.
I'm amazed his swearing was restricted to the odd "Jesus" on Lord of the Flies...
2 minutes of Pete livesey on downhill racer. Possibly more clips chips if you put the right search in.

Features Ron on the route of the same name at the Tor and Geoff Birtles struggling up Right Unconquerable with the classic dialogue:Geoff "I've run out of holds"Ron "Nevermind"I've got a copy on VHS I picked up through UKB freecycle. If someone in Sheffield has the time & skills to convert this into a more internet friendly version let me know and I'll work out a way of getting it to you.
I've discovered something I have in common with Big Ron; Vauxhall Viva ownership.
