John Peake lived even closer to Pex Hill than Eric, before moving down to North Wales. A very mild mannered fellow and a very competent climber, we had some cracking days cragging, including a big day on the Idwal Slabs ("Wall of the Dead", "Demetrius", "Wavelength Touch" and "Last Rites") as well as doing "The Disillusioned Screw Machine".
Sarah (John's wife) was also a very good climber (probably one of the best women climbers at the time, with a number of hard leads under her belt, eg. "Left Wall").
It was fun to meet up with them three years ago and relive happy old memories.
