May I remind you Mr One Day Hero, that it is not just 'folk who are relatively new to the game'. Derek my M10 love tells me that it also includes a bunch of old climbers who may be sure of themselves, but like to retain their youth and love of climbing.

He also says to tell Mr wallwombat that it could be something to do with the literacy levels of the two groups too!
