I remember reading an article years ago in, I think, "Rock and Ice", it was a rather fanciful piece built around the cover headline: "Is climbing an addiction?"
They interviewed Barber about it, and he explained how he'd once climbed, oh I can't remember, 362 days in a year, and also how he'd once flown from the States to London and managed to get in a climb on some nearby (and I think in one case, worthless) crag at each end of the journey.
Amazing to see that little has changed!
