Do you think Rob Taylor is related to Taylor Swift?

An attempt on the Breach Wall of Kilimanjaro with Henry Barber led to a fall and a broken ankle, then to a rescue and controversy. 
 
This is the account of the author's attempted ascent of the Icicle Route on the Breach Wall of Kilimanjaro. Author was injured in a fall from the icicle. Controversial rescue & conflict ensued. Taylor uses a pseudonym in this book for his partner, Henry Barber. This is a good read despite being somewhat weird in places. The first ascent of this route was completed later by Reinhold Messner.
