I have just finished reading Ken Crocket's History of Scottish Mountaineering Vol 2. I noted a couple of references to Nigel Rayner who did some early front point ascents of Scottish Winter Classics with Mick Geddes in the early 70's in record times. Nigel was in the University of East Anglia club later on and inspired us to make many long journeys North.
I would like to make contact with him, so if anyone knows his whereabouts please get in touch.
