Fair enough Singer. You were the only one with the balls to take me up on my bet. The spoils go to you.

You might have a few people question that statement. Even I would query it.

Hopefully you do choose a worthy project. I want my gardening work to be appreciated by climbers repeating the route (otherwise don't expect an A1 cleaning job). I am pretty cynical about the value of cleaning routes nowadays as I've seen enough routes grow back over to the point of being unclimbable again. (Guidebooks full of routes too dirty to climb are a waste of time really). However I will be inspired if you pick a quality route that will be in demand for a few years at least. Was it you who cleaned Status Quo? That was definitely a worthwhile public service. Nice work!

Don't ask Wendy.
