Some favourite quotes....

I’ll tell you mate, bolt climbing is all about losing weight and working out. A hard bolt route is nice but not nearly as memorable as a hard ice or alpine climb”

Stevie Haston

Tempus et maris aestus neminem expectant

Time and tide wait for no man

The earliest known record is from St. Marher, 1225

Il vaut mieux un piton de plus qu'un homme en moins! Surtout si cet homme c'est moi!

Better one piton too many, than one man less! Especially when that man is me!

Georges Livanos
