Anything you can do....

In the '80s, Ron Fawcett, from Yorkshire, was one of Britain's foremost climbers.

He was raw muscle, built like a bionic flea and could perch himself on the very slightest of holds as he powered his way up a series of challenging first ascents.

A true Verdes Adventurer and worthy of mention in our blog.

Here's Ron having a rest on a steep (and high) piece of grit stone.




Needless to say, all Verdes adventurers rest in a similar way when they are waiting for their belayer to set up the camera.

Here's a spookily similar image of Davie resting on a 6a route at Leeds Wall.





History repeating itself?

Perhaps not....
