    Win an outstanding Moon Pluto bouldering crash pad today worth £110.

    Question 28:
    Ben Moon wrote an autobiography about his spectacular climbing career and held the book launch at the Outside Cafe. What was the book called?

    Bit confused as to the answer as the book is "Statement: The Ben Moon Story" but it is a biography not an autobiography. Unless there is another book?

    Win a one-of-a-kind, Bluesign® certified Edelrid 60m 9.8m Parrot Rope worth £130. Just answer the question below before 5pm tomorrow!


    The Edelrid Parrot gets its name from using "upcycled" yarns to create a unique, multicoloured rope. How much of their leftover sheath yarns do they use up this way?

    from here: https://mpora.com/rock-climbing/edelrid-parrot-9-8mm-climbing-rope-review#ZsPdTFfMd5VlVgFc.97

    "New for 2016, the Parrot is a 9.8mm rope made with reused sheath yarns left over from production. This upcycling process uses up to 95 per cent leftover yarns. And, as the colour of the yarns is also different, your Parrot rope is unique."
    Many thanks to everyone who posts, it is very much appreciated!

    DAY 30
    We've saved the best for last but be warned, you'll have to know your climbing history to win a full set of Wild Country Friends - worth a whopping £380.

    As befits the final competition, this is a tricky question, so we're giving you a whole week to dig up the answer. That's till 5pm next Sat 2nd December.

    Good luck and thanks for sticking with us for 30 years!

    Which route at Millstone did Mark Vallance famously fall off, when testing the first Wild Country friends for the BBC's Tomorrow's World?
