My only Charles Albert anecdote is that I heard from a friend, who was there at the time, that when Charles went to Rocklands he was staying in a cave. I've no idea if it's true but it wouldn't surprise me at all.

That cave setup doesn’t look faked to me at all. Pretty sure it’s a nicer setup than Ferret had. Most vans and tents don’t have showers either, people still manage to wash their hair.

This reminds me of this discussion.

No idea how true this is, but I heard on the grapevine that some american wads were incredulous when they heard he'd climbed Monkey Wedding. Some of them had had a session with him, and apparently he spent the entire time feeling the holds, looking quizzically at the line and, very occasionally, trying single moves. Good job there's a vid of him making it look piss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWoTtjQi4y8

My favourite part of the film is when he tells Cameroni who’s sessions deep into Off the Wagon Sit that it’s to easy and boring and goes back to his font projects :lol:

washing dementia patients or whatever.

This more of an educational post in general. Having been a clinical lead for a complex dementia unit and seen how the disease impacts people, I have a strong stance about the term dementia patient.

Please don’t refer to people as dementia patients.
They are people first and foremost and remain that way until they die.

Reducing their worth to a term of a disease is degrading and dehumanising.
It’s tragic when dementia impacts on a person’s life and that of their loved ones, let’s keep recognising that they are a person with a life story, not a refer to them as a disease.

This is true, I was sat next to said wads (p-rob and j-webb say hi) in a cafe in Clanwilliam while they watched the vid and their astonishment was most amusing. No idea if CA was living in a cave at the time though.
