Rock Weasel, have I done something to offend you? Your comments are focused entirely in the negative and I think that’s quite uncalled for.

Do you have a name? You appear to be hiding under an alias.

For your information there are photographs of over ninety different climbers in the book. I have actually gone to incredible lengths to photograph as many different climbers whilst also covering as many different places around the world as would fit in the book. There are a two or three more photos of Monique in the book than the person who appears the next most. There are photos of HB and Nathan and also dozens of “unknowns” in the book. I have certainly never claimed that the book is perfect, but I am happy with the balance I’ve achieved in this regard.

Cheers.
