"Knights Errant":-Webster's Dictionary of the English Language.....a mounted knight who traveled in search of chivalrous adventures! Chris does not use his title on climbs...and to say the least he is far from being a stuffy British Knight. It was my insistence to help illustrate the name of the climb "Knights Errant"
