Exclusive Preview of the Posing Productions film ON SIGHT, due out October. Subject: Pete Robins and Strawberries. We have an article about Strawberries by UKClimbing.com's Editor, Jack Geldard, in September.
"It's March 1980, 28 years ago, Tremadog is very much 'in vogue'. Think Adidas tracksuits, 3/4 length tights, EB's and huge chalk bags. If you've got an orange vest to wear over your T-shirt, all the better. The race for the first ascent of Strawberries is on and Ron Fawcett is in the lead. "
