My thanks to the guys and girls over at UK Climbing, who helped me out with lots of questions about climbing, and to the Canterbury Christ Church TrySport Climbing initiative, where I learned to shout, ‘I’m going to fall!’ a great deal. Alex Roddie, writer of mountain fiction and the excellent The Only Genuine Jones, was a great help.

My editor for this story was Marcus Gipps. My proofreader (and fairy-dust sprinkler) was Olivia Woods. My muse: Britta.

See you for Assignment Two.
