I figured I'd recognise a climber from here... 7-May-2017 At 12:06:56 AM PeterW

God help me that brings back memories, even after all this time! And the video clip had some great footage!

I admit I laughed out loud at one paragraph in the article.

> Paul Flemons lies awake in bed, imagining waves washing him into the sea.

I can vividly remember exactly the same thoughts going through my own mind! I could never get over the thought that the base camp area wasn't covered in vegetation like all the higher parts of the rock!

> The next morning, he is toileting on a designated platform when a wave knocks him off his feet and drags him across the rock.

Not so funny, but a strong sense of deja vu from our trip. At least he wasn't washed away like Noddy!
