A climbing friend of mine was half way up a 600 foot climb in North Wales when it started to rain and rain and rain. They climbed on reaching the top, behind them all the way were two elderly looking gents struggling but keeping up with them. The final section was the hardest so they shouted down " do you want us to lower you a rope" The reply was " Dont you know who I am? I am Chris Bonnington" To which my friend replied "Well Chris do you want a rope or not".
