No I wasn't in cliffhanger but I could do all that stuff easily, see the bit whe he makes the rope bridge at the beginning, I do that sometimes if I climb at the old man of stoer or another one I can't quite get the name, but it's called a tyrolean traverse and it's cool fun cause it's over crashing seas and rocks.

sounds wicked choss - if I had a set I might give it a go ;)
"tyrolean traverse" sounds like a BOC tune...

makes me want to try my hand a making a preserve of some sort myself.
yowza, chossy. is that you one of the wee little ant people on top of the phallus there?
scary!
mx, i don't think there is such a thing as a damp index, but i made it up. in new orleans, you can't tell how hot it is just by reading the temperature. you have to take into account humidity and air pressure and the number of cockroaches in your flat and all sorts of other things. so they created a system called the heat index that tells you how hot it really is.
i think they should do the same for cold. i mean, they do already, with the wind chill factor, but they don't really count up the damp and the fog and tell you how much colder it is for those reasons.

It snows in London plenty and does settle. However - it does turn grey after about 3 hours and then melts in the smog.
It doesn't snow nearly half as much as it did in the 1980's though. When I was a kid, I had to walk through drifts up to ma knees and it was so deep so it was and one soon learnt the lession of woolen mittens I can tell ya.

hmm works for me!!
no MX it's the old man of stoer not quite as big as hoy but very similar.
ha ha I just remembered the climb on the right hand side is called 'squid vicious' ha ha

he he moth, mittens are rad esp. the ones with the cord that goes through both arms.
No Paraselene I'm not in that picture, I always have to dissappear pretty quickly when I get ontop of it as it's always shite weather, the most scared I have ever been was on a slab of rock inland directly inline with the pillar you see, I was climbing a route called 'lightening crack' and all my protection came pinging out when I was at the hardest manouver and I just had to climb cause I was commited to a move and my partner had tears in his eyes cause he knew I was done for if I didn't make it and he couldn't help me. Oh jeeze I'm having flash backs from all the times I nearly died.

Americans are the only people on Earth who whine about "humidity". The fact they now deny temperature as a good means of measuring, er... temperature, I find rather alarming.
I mean next they'll be questioning Darwin...
