Isn’t that on the back cover of one of the old Rockfax guides?

You're right, it's on the back of the old Western Grit guide. Mine's a bit scuffed up unfortunately.

I hate that guide! It somehow makes Commander Energy look average on the front cover...

It's ok, this is the one with East Rib on the cover.

Some cracking shots of The Prophet.

Especially love the ones of Geoffrey Boycott on it!

John Allen on Shirleys in a baggy jumper, shredded purple leggings and a balding semi-mullet, please?? Is this from On Peak Rock or Fawcett On Rock or something?? Please scan and post anyway, ta.

It was in OTE. One of the best grit pictures ever.

Andy B · January 25, 2020, 11:58:25 am

I’ve just taken photo of it on my phone. Is it possible to post directly on here now? As I don’t have photo hosting at the mo.
If not I can WhatsApp it to you if you PM me your number Matt? (Assuming PMs are working)

Rope and rucksack landing

Tick marks!!

webbo · January 25, 2020, 06:44:53 pm

That’s a pretty strong Max Wall impression.

andy popp · January 25, 2020, 07:10:36 pm

MEGA! His shoulders look huge! Such a great picture.

Will Hunt · January 25, 2020, 07:14:14 pm

Fucking John Allen, eh? The business. Jumpers for goal posts.

My photo of CE inside makes it look great though.

So good. Exactly how I do it too.

You mean the attire and hairstyle?

Dave Henderson has been uploading a few pics of his earlier exploits around devon https://www.instagram.com/p/CCGCVO8DHTN/

SA Chris · July 13, 2020, 08:48:09 am

First 3 pics of him heelhooking show how he got the Bendy nickname.

Grant St, Stoke-on-Trent, probably around 1983. Claudie Dunn (as she was to become) climbing. Me watching in my best Joy Division old man's overcoat from the charity shop. This was a great venue.

andy_e · October 08, 2020, 12:29:51 pm

Awesome. Everything about this is so wonderfully 80s, even the sky has a gloriously industrial lustre and tone.

Excellent! I see your Stoke on Trent and raise you an Otterspool Prom, Liverpool.

Sewn up boxers, homemade chalkbag, Calma Linces.

andy popp · October 08, 2020, 03:14:06 pm

Excellent. I was just about to comment on the Calmas when I scrolled down and saw that you'd mentioned them.

Oldmanmatt · October 08, 2020, 03:45:20 pm

Sure I posted this before, but my old Flikr thingy is gone so it will be too I guess.

Anyway, by 1989, we had much better walls, Ron Hills and better shoes (Flys, and I cannot remember who made them, but compared to the “B4s” they replaced, were like little miracles of sticky goodness):
