Yup, some of it, I suppose what I should have asked was whether the post and photos on FB were in relation to the topic of this thread - sorry...

Looks like shark is behind the camera in one of the shots so my guess would be yes.

Yes. Had a great weekend.

Malc, Chris Houston (who is doing the film) and Johnny Bean came down on Friday night and stopped at mine. Ben kindly let us use the New Schoolroom (which incidentally is going to be an amazing facility) on Saturday morning for the interview. Malc had a play on the old boards and I also had a short interview with Ben about Malc. We then went to Raven Tor for a bit of bouldering. Malc dropped some holds off at the Works and we all went for a meal at East West on Abbeydale Road which is also recommended. Then a few more jars at the Red Lion with Mark Hundleby and Rob Barker. On Sunday morning Steve Mac came round for some more wordage. Team Glasgow then left for the Bowderstone but ended up going to a climbing wall.

Chris is going to compile the interview and this and other climbing footage. Maybe there will be a long and short version. I'll keep you posted on a release date.

Key things:

Malc is a thoroughly nice modest guy
He loves his wheat beer
He confirmed Malc's one armer was done

 

And here he is cruising Powerband

Did he pull on any of the "old school" problems in the new school? If so, which ones and what did he think?

He found them hard. I think he did a 7A+. There should be some golden footage of him and Ben working out where a few of the classic ones went. Sorry I don't remember the names.

Looking at social media Ben got more than a little bit confused!

Awesome, just a small typo, A Monk's Life FA was done in 2003 not 1993, just to prevent it going in the final version :)

Cheers Ted - I'll let Chris know.

I've already mentioned the Steve MacClure (sic) typo
