John Allen on the name:

I nearly did it quite quickly but I jumped off because I didn't want to dyno for a hold. It [dynoing] was almost thought of as slightly bad style in those days which is ridiculous, as now it's almost an art in itself, but I thought I'll jump off and I'll do it alright next time. I couldn't get back up there for ages!...That was quite a frustrating climb really. That's why I called it what I did, because it went on and on and on!
