Moo. You were on the ball with Dan Crammond. The strongest thing to come out of Newcastle by far. If he had just crimped a bit instead of openhanding  everything he would have been world famous. Sadly through disillusionment and the fact that a mere mortal's body was always going to self-destruct when wheelding unworldly power, he was lost to climbing.

Bumped into his Mam a while back and although birded up he is back climbing. If he breeds with a tall, skinny bird the kids will be awesome!

Hope he's doing well.

He lives in sheffield now doesn't he and works at hrs? I used to train in the woodie (R.I.P.) with him a bit and he was still dismayingly strong, last time I spoke to him he was injured but building a board at home....

What a relief that must have been. And somebody else to blame to boot.  :)

It was, after I'd done Green Gilbert (?) to get out and get the rope, the heavens opened. Which probably have been mid crux had I got on The Cad.

Bungle.

How about :
Steve Rhodes - Strangeness was well ahead of its time and bold on the limestone
Chris Sowden - The Yorkshire rock Ferret
Martin Parker - As wide as he is Tall
Jim Purchon - pretty much ticked yorkshire

Martin Parker is very very strong but is he a 'Great' climber?

No.
