Did Parnaby almost onsight Requiem? > Alas, it is unfortunately just the stuff of legend according to his belayer: >>I belayed Craig when he tried to ground up Requiem back in 1998. It was an impressive display of climbing even by Parnaby standards. His 1st attempt ended half way up the crack with him shouting "End of a dream! End of a dream!" >>On his 2nd attempt he got to the top of the crack but came off getting established on the head wall above this. On his 3rd attempt on day 2 he cruised all the way to the top only to find that the top was wet as it had started to rain. >>After spending a few minutes hanging onto wet basalt Craig shouted down in his best Victor Meldrew impression that "he couldn't believe it" and casually down climbed to his last runner and lowered off. He said that he couldn't be bothered trying again as he had had too many goes and that was that! >>I've never seen as impressive on-sight climber as Parnaby, he was a legend back in the 90's...... ### References [1] *On The Edge* Issue 71, page 73 [2] [https://ukbouldering.com/threads/first-e7-onsight.31629/post-649335](https://ukbouldering.com/threads/first-e7-onsight.31629/post-649335)

2493 4th June 2026 15:29:37 UTC Mono climb Walk On By notes
Before
One of the hardest problems in the world when it was first climbed in 1980. Discovered and named by [Steve Foster](/climber/3228/steve-foster), who climbed it first with one point of aid: mantelling a peg at the start. Rob Gawthorpe: >Walk On By is suited to my climbing style – thin, very technical steep walls, but not crazily overhanging. I think Leeds Wall was a key – [Al Manson](/climber/1011/al-manson) and I just used to test each other on brick-edge problems on the Leeds Wall – hence how I got good at using very small edges and rock-overs. >It was obviously hard, but I didn't think it was really any harder than some of the other problems we'd been playing on in Yorkshire, particularly with Al Manson at Caley, Almscliff and Hetchell. At that time I thought there were a couple of really hard projects at Caley that seemed much harder. ### References [1] On Peak Rock, 2013
