In reply to UKC Articles:
Iain's recollections of youthful high jinks in West Penwith pubs resonated guiltily with me. A few years later, I had similar episodes in Bradford. Probably the imperatives troubling us were similar. Unfortunately one can't undo the past. You can only learn from it, express your regret, make your amends, put back into society. It seems that, with 'Right Angle', Iain has made his amends in an exemplary fashion, giving so much pleasure to so many thousands of climbers.
Unfortunately as I staggered along Bradford back streets, much the worse for wear, I never encountered any five star classics! The karmic debt's taking rather longer to repay.
And a courteous admission from Ken of, 'One of the few mistakes in judgement I ever made'. Ken didn't have to proffer many such admissions because he so rarely made errors of judgement.
