Je suis un legendAs the saying goes... myself seconding the above route name on the rim of the Verdon Gorge. It's about 7b+ i think. One of my favourite sport routes ever! The crux is a bunched up leaning mantle-shelf using a mono pocket - that hurt! Photo by Tom Williams

Typical grit balance....My climbing partner Pete climbing the crux of a short solo just round the corner from April Arete. It's not to bad (E2/HVS).
All in a good day's work...

Ssshhh! Don't tell anyone....Who said that climbing was a wholesome sport?! This was during my second year at Sheffield University when myself and some mates decided to steal/borrow the University mascot as a challenge. I (yes, lucky me) then had to climb onto the 5-floor halls of residence roof and place the mascot on top of the main chimney stack for everyone to see. Consequently the Vice President was in deep doo-doo's for losing the prized mascot and myself and a mate got to throw kitchen slops all over the VP whilst he was tied down to a chair with duct tape in front of a big crowd. Probably the best day of our lives....!

Pitch 4 on the ZodiacMyself hanging out at the start of pitch 4, hoping the mess at the belay will go away and wondering why I left my hooks on the ground!

Highballing on some unknown in North WalesThis was taken back in 1997, on an epic trip to North Wales where we learnt that trad climbing is a whole lot better (and scary!) than sport!!! In my opinion anyway....

MrHardGrit making the stretch...The route is Strapadictomy, E5 6a at Froggatt. The climbing is rather pumpy but well protected. An absolute classic!

Thin climbing on CanoeMrHardGrit soloing Canoe at Froggatt. It's a tricky little E2 really, with a rather strange move near the top to the nasty, slopey, rounded top-out

Strapadictomy, E5 6aThis classic grit route, Strapadictomy at Froggatt (climbed here by Tom Randall) was originally climbed on just nuts. The crux is establishing yourself at a standing position on the hanging arete, where a hidden pocket greatly helps the chance of reaching the top break.
