Parents not climbers[edit]

User:Primefac in order to contradict the BBC source, it is naturally difficult to find a specific source, that the non-notable parents of the subject of this article are not keen climbers. I have not found any other source than Chris Peddy's that says they are. My guess is that the Peddy article [1] is simply wrong about their being climbers. The father is his son's coach and presumably keen on that, but that is not the same as being a climber himself. There is an interview with Roberts [2] where at 20 seconds in Roberts states his parents weren't climbers. Not a reliable source of course, but gives reason to think the Peddy cited material may be inaccurate or non-factual; hence the tag. I am not replacing the tag now as you may have a better way of dealing with the doubt.SovalValtos (talk) 11:11, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What's the timestamp on the video for that? Don't really feel like watching a 20 min video for a 1s sound bite. Will reply in full after I've checked it out though. Primefac (talk) 11:15, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, totally missed that part. Weird to have completely contradictory statements like that; I suppose it does no harm to remove as there does appear to be a discontinuity. Primefac (talk) 11:33, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
