"A couple of year's ago a sport climber from Australia, Simon, came over for a tour de force of northern UK crags. He was a right ponce. A dancy-wancy tip-toe here, an exaggerated finger placement there…. you know the type. He was from Sydney. The two top cragging spots near Sydney are the Blue Mountains and Nowra. The majority of the routes follow a line of bolts and finish at a set of chains for lowering off. Simon left me for a weakling on the bolts of Malham. However, faced with the prospect of actually topping out at Brimham, the F7c clipping queen was reduced to a panic stricken bumbly. He had no idea what to do. I would have offered advice when he reached the top of Birch Tree Wall VS 4c, but I was too busy pissing my sides as he laid belly down, a bit like a human seesaw, on the edge of the crag. His movements were best described as involuntary breaststroke."

If only we knew this Simon, the fun we cond make!
