Bear with me. Mick's Vector Generation article got me thinking about the names given to associations of friends and climbing partners over the years. I've heard loads of these names but the "membership" doesn't stick in the mind so easily. Unfortunately my friends and I have only ever been dubbed "those punters". What well-known "teams" have there been and who was in them? Off the top of my head:
The Rock and Ice (a club rather than a nickname really)
The Alpha Club
The Burnley Lads
The Black Pudding Team
The Steam Team (Scottish, but who were they?)
The Well-Oiled Machine (was that Berzins and Sowden?)
The High Moors Society (Franco, Warbs, Marks and...?)
