I am in the middle of writing a book about my climbs in Alaska with Jack Roberts in 1978 and 1980 in collaboration with my friend Pam Roberts. The tale has become unavoidably autobiographical in order to have some context and I find myself on the North face of the Eiger again in winter in 1978/79.
As was Stevie Haston at the time.
Back then a winter ascent was a big deal. I was one of two groups of Brits that attacked the mountain that winter.
Stevie Haston and Victor Saunders were the others. We travelled to the mountain together and had one big adventure. The readers will have to wait but, Stevie if you are reading this, firstly Hi mate across a gap of 3 decades and please contact me.
If you know Stevie, please tell him I am looking for him and thanks for your help

There is little doubt that Stevie Haston is the UK's most accomplished all-round climber and alpinist. His record speaks for itself. His appetite for climbing is vast.
For the last 40 years he has bouldered hard, climbed bold routes in great style, soloed routes near the edge of his ability, redpointed and onsighted hard sport routes, established and repeated some of the world's hardest ice and mixed routes, and made some impressive fast solos of alpine routes, including 80 ascents of ED+ in the Mont Blanc massif.
Where most of the top climbers of the 70's and 80's have taken a back seat, Stevie Haston at 52, is still going strong. In 2009 he redpointed 9a and established some hard bold routes at Craig Doris in North Wales.
