I’m assuming this man never needs help opening a jar of pickles. Or dare I say gherkins.It actually gets better…
From Alpinist magazine…
In 1978, he moved 238 miles away from London to Llanberis in North Wales, a "village that has produced some of the greatest climbers in British climbing from Joe Brown onwards," Haston said. Today he lives on the island of Gozo, thirteen miles north of Malta where he first learned to climb. "I'm a Londoner. I'm a Cockney. I'm London scum," was one of the first things he told me. Haston is known for his bold routes on loose rock and his intense training regimen, which at one time consisted of 2,000 pull-ups and 3,000 push-ups a day. Although these days he rarely does such systematic training, every month he'll still whip out a big session of 1,000 to 1,500 pull-ups. We were there to talk about his love for the Utah desert.
