Lats, Babes and Bouldering by Jimbo Kimber's got to be up there, but that's most definitely nu-skool.
New Moon about adventure climbing on the Lleyn was one of the best articles OTE ever published.
Kidnapping Jerry and the one where two people got shrunk and did a big wall ascent of Regent Street? at Millstone.
Can't remember who wrote them though :whistle:
That article in OTE that reported the first ascents of Agincourt and Maginot Line. Many moons before my time, but that picture of him on Agincourt never fails to inspire. Anyone know where one could acquire a copy in poster size?
Does anyone know of the Tronc Feullieu article that is (I think) in games climbers play? thats awesome climbing writing.
I contemplated doing a parody - Scott Feulieeu
Anyone else remember a pull-out supplement that one of the mags did, full of a bunch of obscure and/or risque fiction submissions considered too 'out there' to put in the main mag? One article particularly sticks in my mind (might even have been written by Mark Hundleby) about someone going round chipping classic grit routes by night, so a bunch of Sheffield climbers set a trap and catch him in the act and then smashed his fingers to pulp with a hammer!
And speaking of Extreme Rock, was an Andy Pollitt (again) article about Tremadoc. When i was writing the Jerry chapter in Revelations, I used that as inspiration to try to capture the innocence and enthusiasm of the time.
Is there a similar article for Gaskins?
Here is a great article on Malcolm Smith from December 1995 High magazine
But I think that there are too many bolts in the Frankenjura
QuoteBut I think that there are too many bolts in the Frankenjura
Not a widely held opinion.

In 1986 or today?
