Andy,
Thanks for the book. I am enjoying it immensely. Very funny. I had a quick skim thru first up, concentrating on the Australian section then back to the start. I thought Nick White's and your despair at arriving at the health food environs of the "Nati Shack" aka Louise's place was pretty funny as was the disappearing penis!

I reckon the goings on at number 84 are worthy of a TV soapie. Shagging and Cragging (not doubt said before), the full expose on the hardest climbing house hold on the planet. With a bit of creative licence, we could all be watching the roller coaster of human emotions of stuff like your good self being smitten by the latest version of T*** and Jez spitting the dummy at home cos' Big Ron pinched "Master's Edge" from under his nose.

If the joint had exploded due to some gas fault the history of British/World climbing would have been different.
And as a final point, has there ever been a Pommie climber without a nickname? Zippy, Dirty Derek, Plantpot, the list just goes on and on!
