Hey Andy - book received with thanks. Looking fwd to reading.

Looking at the pics of you on punks reminded me that I may have one of your wires - be cool if you could confirm or deny. It's an HB offset brass wire #2 (I think) yellow one with finger tape protecting the wire where you clip (though this could have been added by me later).

Story goes that I'd finished a climb with Jarryd McCullough on unc Charlie and we thought we'd rap punks to check it out. I went first and when j got down he pulled out a couple of wires and a Biner he'd bootied off punks - at the time I thought it a pretty shitty thing to do but j didn't seem to care. However he shared the booty with me (prolly to share the guilt) and I ended up with that wire and used it for many a year as offsets were impossible to get in those days. Can't remember whether it was before, during or after your ascent but would have been early 90s - be funny if you knew something about it.
Cheers
Stu
