Bonington takes flame to Snowdon summit

Bonington holding another suspiciously dud looking torch.

The one that went past me looked like a dud too, and that one wasn't up a windy mountain. Has anyone seen a lit torch, or is the fire element missing from these Olympic torches? Perhaps they are best viewed at night, close up, with liquid nitrogen cooled thermal imaging equipment set to high sensitivity.

I watched him last night on a programme about climbing the Eiger.

He has very scary teeth.

It's hard to look at him without tensing

agreed about the teeth - but then again so do a lot of people from his generation.. that eiger climb in the 1960's though would of been something else.

His teeth look small and spaced out for his mouth, whereas ordinarily it's a pretty crowded place. Has he got a big head or small teeth?
