Hi Fitz,
"In this months Cumbria magazine, they've got an article on Tony Greenbank, the fella who builds Goldsworthys walls."

Tony Greenbank is an ex-climber of great repute in Cumbria. The Fell and Rock Climbing Club guides tell of many of his first ascents. He has taken over from the great Harry Griffin as the fortnightly contributor of the Cumbria section of "A Country Diary". As far as I know he doesn't build the Goldsworthy walls. He's in his 70s, and has just had a hip replacement.
Regards,
TE.

Whoops
Of course you're right Mr Eternal
Steve Allen is the waller and Tony Greenbank the journalist.
I was entranced by the article but didn't pay much attention to the names.

In the article they mention Norman Nicholsons poem, Wall, which can be found here.
