What I don't get is this obsession ...
I was there, climbed with Kim (he was better than me - I was a just a kid, cragging with Jerry). He climbed in Britain with 'our' unsung hero Douggie Hall. FFA of Psychic Threshold on Great Orme - E5 6b. Both fell off Mayfair - E3 6a - so did Carrigan's Groove to get to the stance.
Wasn't there a headline in Crags magazine 'Bruce Bounces' having taken a monster off Midsummer's? I could be wrong, might've been Douggie. Redhead and I did the next two ascents. I think Kim made an impression in Avon too (check Crags ima).
We did a couple of routes at Le Sassois togther on an International meet mid eighties. I liked him, top bloke but dead intense ... Caught up years later at a Vietnamese restaurant on Victoria St - perhaps '91 or 2. Geez he was bitter.
