Photo credit on the UKC news item goes to Hot Aches so sounds likely?

Film to come from BMC TV.

Grimer’s Jamcrack podcast is great if you’ve not listened to it already.

Really? I tried but after my half hour cycle to work they were still talking about how good at school her brother was so I never got on to any climbing.

Grimer, this is an explicit comment about editing.
