	Lead almost got me there.

	Marvellous, this one, great theme for once, and good clues. Well done vikz.

	I think the clue for #6 would be better as just "knowledgeable and experienced," because having the "to be" part makes it sound like the answer's going to be a verb rather than an adjective.

	Did I really just type in lone for the last answer?

	Thanks climber_v12, and thanks sporcle for the publish!

	@gringuita_1 Exactly what I was going to say. It seems a bit ridiculous, but I actually spent a good amount of time trying to think of a verb construction there.

	It always bothers me when >50% are getting 100%, but I can't say a ladder with 22 rungs should be reduced to 1 min.

	i might be confused but wouldn't 'borrowed money from' be LOANED, not LOAN?

	Blimpyboy:	Nov 9th, 2011 at 13:10 GMT		7 points
	@jim_fez - That was my first thought as well, but look at it again, not as the action of borrowing money, but as the object of borrowed money. The borrowed money itself is a loan.

	ah right i see. thanks @Blimpyboy

	Actually, when I eat ice cream I hold a spoon, but most people do like a cone.

	I wish there was a way not to have to jump ahead to rung 22 when I am on 17, destroys the rhythm a bit too much.

	Sorry to be picky, but "elevate" is a transitive verb (the object gets higher) whereas "rise" is an intransitive verb (the subject gets higher) the synonym for "elevate" is "raise", not "rise". Alternatively, rise as a NOUN could simply be "higher ground".
