climbing icons?

It occurred to me in conversation elsewhere that I am sadly lacking a climbing icon. Can anyone suggest where I might find something suitable? While I'm here I'll introduce myself briefly -- I'm a fairly new climber (first time I went anywhere near a climbing wall was last September), based in London, & currently at about 4C with both top-roping and bouldering. With occasional excursions into V0/5A with greater or lesser degrees of success. I am having a huge amount of fun, anyway, which I tell myself is more important than competence :) I tend to do more bouldering atm as I can go up in the afternoons & do that on my own rather than having to make arrangements with someone else & probably go evening/weekend.

Oh hai fellow London climber! I do not have a source of climbing icons, alas -- I've been making my own so far (and my GIMP skillz are not l33t).

Where in London are you climbing? I reserve the right to panic and hide if we turn out to be frequenting the same wall *g* (though I haven't been able to climb for the last few months owing to illness anyway).

I couldn't find anyone who makes climbing icons last time I looked, but I do make icons myself. I'd be happy to make something if you give me an idea of what you would like or point me in the direction of some pictures.

I'm an ex-London climber (I moved away last year) and I'm all about the fun. There are some great walls there, The Castle was my favourite for bouldering. They had such a great range of problems at the lower grades.
