I am an Aussie Climber with dual UK Citizenship. I live and work between Australia and England and try to climb as much as I can in between. I have climbed Throughout Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and Nepal. I climb 5c trad and 6b sport. Pretty keen Boulderer too. I am based in Bacup, Lancs and always looking for climbing partners for Scottish Ice-Climbing, Mountaineering in the Alps, Trad, Sport, Bouldering or even just training on plastic. Been climbing 33 years so pretty much a fossil However, I like to move light and quick in the mountains so if you want to hook up make sure youre match fit. I'm always fit.

Location
Bacup,Lancashire

Best Climbing Experience
Have to say it was the endless games of Bridge, Coffee and pancakes in the Colin Todd hut over three days with some mad Kiwis before a magical moonlit start, Alpenglow dawn, and eerily still morning on the SW ridge of Aspiring in NZ. followed by a harrowing descent down the Ramp in white-out conditions! Mountaineering....It happens. Then...... back in the hut before midday to resume the bridge championship with a true Trans-Tasman rivalry akin to a Wallabies Vs All Blacks Test! Look.... I could bang on for ten pages and I would have still left out hundreds of memorable days on the crags...both high and tiny. Deep water solos, 15 people at a time soloing Tiptoe Ridge 3 at Arapiles in the moonlight. Finding a crag before anyone else and getting the first plum lines...... I can go on for ever! Climbing is just one of the best things I have done with my life consistently since I was 14.

Anything Else We Should Know
I'm a mean pool player, not un-accustomed to a fine Ale and have the ability to still see the funny side of things after 3 days in a snowcave! Yep...
