Worth noting that the '68 Guide to the Roaches listed a princely total of 162 climbs (and it should be noted that the book included Roaches, Hen Cloud, Skyline as well as the Five Clouds).

An early formative experience came at the age of nine, on the day he learnt of his father’s death; that night, he awoke to see an apparition of his father at the foot of the bed. He had a brother of twenty-one who was also a drug user and dealer and after their parents died, they continued to live as before in one room they rented above a busy pub in Edinburgh City. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health.
