That guy who turned up at the Henry Price wall on a bicycle and then did the whole f7c traverse there and back without a warmup!
Andy Popp - I voted for you on UKC and we have met in the past (several times, via Pete Chadwick, he who is known by most of the climbing community of the so far discovered world...).Great but not famous - as Andi e correctly (for once) said - Hank Pasquill. Any who have done Constables Overhang will agree, but beyond that he was so far ahead of the pack at the time in Lancs. Visionary, truely visionary.
For routes, Matt Donnelly doing Mecca 8b+ aged fifteen has to be worth a mention.
