I think the Arthur Dolphin clips are also in Best Forgotten Art, haven't found it online yet.

Sounds right.

Looks like it. Hey fatdoc, well spotted. Don't suppose you know a cure for tendonosis by the way? :wave: I'll waive my share of the pint for a working brachialis...

This thread is just amazing. Seriously I'd buy it if UKB made a photo book of it. I'll have to dig some of the old man's snaps out. Think he might have some good shots of lakes legend Neil Allinson somewhere too from back in the day. Keep them coming folks!

Wrong climber, wrong route, right crag, right grade (though E3 at the time, harder than Right Wall mind...)

Whilst you're all struggling with the Stoney one, here is another:



The route is easy to identify (but hard to flash).  The leader was hideously strong, somewhat under-rated, and more-or-less unknown now.  The guy watching the proceedings was not quite as strong, never knowingly under-rated, and still famous.  He failed to top-tope this E3 in 1980 though!
