Simon, Kate and Will before a mass ascent of the excellent Pulpit Route (VD), Milestone Buttress, Snowdonia, 27 August. Though they have done tons of sport climbing, this was their first leads of a multi-pitch trad climb. I soloed around and helpfully gave advice on where to place gear, how to hold wires in your teeth while faffing about, what's a good cam placement, how to belay, etc etc. This meant I could zip off and do Rowan Tree Climb (VD) too, which was rubbish.

Mr Jason Gleave on Saul's Crack at The Roaches, one evening a few weeks ago.

First ascents: Bullybones, 4 July 2007

****1/2 Highly amusing account of a month-long drinking tour taking in the extremities of the British Isles and all points in between, including Burton-on-Trent, Tadcaster, Islay and various other Meccas of falling over. Informative too: I'd quote something right now, but I'm off to the pub.
