I've always called you "link-up Ted" behind your back or should that be "Super link-up Ted".

Big Bang isn't at the Tor, so as a fully paid up member of the Sheffield Mafia you should know it must be ignored. Have a word with yourself Duncan ffs.

Within the first minute Grimer says that Raven Tor is more or less the centre of hard climbing in the UK.
I've cancelled my BMC membership.

Unless you have a speech impediment

Edit: Grimer took the piss out of Seb for mispronouncing ‘Partheon’

Shame he didn't take John to task for mis-spelling it.

John originally spelled it with e iirc, doesn’t seem that way now https://parthianclimbing.com/manchester/

Edit
pedantic argument? Tick
Trivial point? Tick
Irrelevant to the massive achievement discussed by OP? Tick.

I’ll be off to ukc now..

I love how he manages to make the Tor look polished  ;D

If he'd bolted it properly, I'm sure he could climb it without the aid points too..  ;)

In case the significance gets diluted with the ascent of just another 8cpath.. Brandenburg is massive news.

He must be close to ticking the whole crag now. Does anyone know how close he is?!

In terms of absolutes I'd guess he's actually quite a way off, lots to do at the tor especially if you include link-ups! Having ticked the hardest stuff off I imagine he'd mop up without too much effort though.
