Spiderman AKA Alain Robert. Know more for his building solos, he has made quite a few hard solos out on rock!

Fred is the only Swiss climber I recall right at the moment, but he climbs very slowly and controlled so doesn't fit.

Edit: Elie Chevieux - didn't think of him... He has been quiet since being reported incorrectly as murdered in Afghanistan.

Q3 I thought dalai would score. Climber: Dave Pegg. The route: what soon became 'The Yorkshire Ripper' (8b/31). Apparently he asked Tribout to get off it, as it was his project. Tribout said he may as well finish the job - so while he was resting in between burns, Pegg rapped the line and took out his lip gloss. Tribout ended up making the second ascent over 3 days (once Pegg had made the 1st).

Not so quick with the answers!

I don’t remember that Stuart had climbed it, awesome if he did. I have a pic of Steve on that - one of our most talented climbers ever for sure.

OK - I'll leave the answers 'til COB, or thereafter. There's another group of questions coming though...

Third that! What he was bouldering at Cheesedale was at the time at the cutting edge in terms of difficulty!
