Many thanks Kieranl - what a wonderful turn of phrase, and Karl Bromelow very much too, heck, I'd completely forgotten that article - brilliant, cheers.
'Wolfy' was staying at our (Jerry Moffatt, Chris Gore and Martin Atkinson's) house in Sheffield, UK for a week or so (this was around 1986/7 - so a year or so post-PITG, as I was just back from a shoulder injury) and we were all still yoyoing (Ron Fawcett's routes out in the Peak District) but these were definitely the last of that 'style' as Jerry, 'Basher' (Martin) and Gore were adopting the French style and Britain basically followed their lead. Actually, Ben Moon's Statement of Youth was really the first true redpoint (in 1984) as far as I recall.
Anyway, hopefully someone will be along soon who was there on the day/s...
Cheers.
