[Mark Pretty](/climber/213/mark-pretty) on the first time he met Andy:
> One grey and rather bleak day I had hitched in and met, by chance, [Stevie Haston](/climber/135/stevie-haston). We'd gone up to Windy Ledge [at [Stoney Middleton](/crag/138/stoney-middleton)] where a team had assembled to attempt [Circe](/climb/2082/circe). I was well out of my depth so settled down to watch the heroics on display. A young lad with lots of hair and enthusiasm who had repeated the route the day before (as he kept reminding everyone!) volunteered to clip the bolt. At the wire before the bolt he had a bit of a wobble, grabbed the wire which promptly came out and he then hit the ledge and bounced off it! The belayer fell over and was dragged towards the 70 foot drop. The quick thinking of Stevie, who jumped on the belayer and stopped his slide, saved the day. The youth re-emerged on the ledge, brushed himself down and was keen to go again...! Needless to say he wasn't allowed that opportunity! [5]
