how the fuck do you breed bikes?

with great pain

[fatboySlimfast]

Some of the geezers in it like Dave Jones(the sandstone geez not the fat photo guy) were mutants. he was a demonic boulderer and strong as fuk. Blew his fingers out in the end. Is phil davidson in it? He was a mutant bak in the day.
Also featured joe Healey, which despite his best efforst during the 90's to piss his talent up the wall,  was one of the best young climbers in the late 70's early 80's on the trad stuff
Fuk inst ed morgan in it???? Krist i remeber him and his shit mate who suddenly got good(Mr Birch)

[Johnny Brown]

You mean Mr Birch of Almscliffe fame? The only man ever to onsight West side story :shock:

I have several mates who can recite any photo caption in that book. I don't think its influence over the top climbers of today can be overestimated.
Lucky the sport grades for grit didn't catch on... Ulysses 7b+  :roll:
