I think maybe some of the hardest things in the world are in the U.K. and certainly one of the strongest climbers, John Gaskins. [...]

Hallet’s Peak Today I went to Upper Chaos with Brian Camp and no agenda. We went to Seth’s new problem Two Ton Tongue V11. It was a humid day and we climbed under the roof between heavy rains.
