If Moony does Northern Lights I think I'll die.

Is it the 90's?!

So psyched for Moon! That's seriously inspired me more than anything else in ages!

When Moony will do Northern Lights finally the climbing world will regain meaning for me.

He might as well repeat Violent New Breed while he's at it.

The most inspirational ascent of all time for me. Best of all, it's making me feel ok about taking 6 months off.

Incredible. If you grew up with Ben and Jerry being the tops dogs this is like falling asleep at Glastonbury watching U2 and waking up at Woodstock with Hendrix on stage. And to think I was always told never to have heroes cos they'll always let you down. Not this time!

Best climbing news I've heard in a very long time. Can't put in to words how much respect I have for his ascent. Remember bumping in to Ben at Malham when I was 16 or 17 and being in awe. Guess I still am.

The thread will look a bit silly if we need to wait another quarter of a century for him to do something noteworthy again

Totally amazing news. Can't wait to see the film. I do hope Pritch has gone with Cat Stevens' Moon Shadow as the soundtrack.
