Keith Sharples 'Be in my Calendar' 2013 Comp Competition

© Keith Sharples

It's that time of year again for the annual Keith Sharples "Be in my Calendar" competition. There's been great response in previous years.

Climbing:2012 - Saw Craig Bailey on the classic 3 star Climb High at Dinbren (below).
Climbing:2011 - Liam Lonsdale made it onto the front cover climbing at St. Bees Head up in The Lakes.
Climbing:2010 - Had Ally Smith cranking it out in the Llangollen area.
Climbing:09 - Rachael Crewe, the spandex-loving graduate from Notts Uni on the classic Froth at Stoney.

 

If you're not familiar with the competition, UKClimbing, alongside some of the biggest names in the UK climbing business, are sponsoring a page in my UK-centric climbing calendar, Climbing:2013, and I'm looking for a keen climber to be photographed in a special photo shoot for the UKC page. It's a prize that, as copywriters would say, 'money can't buy'...

 

Do you fancy yourself in next years calendar?

YOU need to be an experienced rock climber capable of leading rock routes of VDiff upwards. You must be available late July to early August for the photo shoot and will bring a sac of kit and a mate along to climb with.
