Jerry Moffatt
Jerry Moffatt, born in 1963, is a top-level English climber who was one of the leading figures in climbing in the 1980s. At the age of 18, he climbed Little Plum in Derbyshire, then considered the most difficult route in the country. In the early 1980s he competed with Ron Fawcett for the title of best English climber. Jerry Moffatt is Ben Moon's inseparable climbing partner. Together, they shattered the standards of their time. For Jerry, these are remarkable on-sight climbs: “Chimpanzodrome”, 7c+ at Saussois and “Phoenix”, 7c+ at Yosemite, in 1984 for example. After several years on the front of the stage, he had to take a two-year break to treat an elbow injury, due to overtraining and requiring surgery. Then he returned to the scene by participating in climbing competitions, culminating in a victory at the world championships in Leeds in 1989. Jerry Moffatt is also very high level after work, at the top of his time. : “The Face” (first production), 8a+ at Frankenjura in 1983, “Bidule” at Saussois in 1984 and barely a few tries, “Liquid Amber” (first production), 8c (today 8c+) in 1990 at Pen Trwyn , “Evolution” (first achievement), 8c+ in 1995 at Raven Tor... Jerry Moffatt is also solos up to big 8a, bouldering up to 8b (“Dominator”, Yosemite in 1991) and hyper exposed routes on jammers (or absence of jammers for that matter...) up to at 8b+ (“Renegade master”, at Froggatt in 1995).
