Jack of all styles, master of none, a lover of sketchy gear, long runouts and fighting grade inflation, one petty argument at a time. Relegated to indoors a lot for now due to life in the flatlands.

I also avoid the world of "real" work by studying glaciers, how they melt and the microbes that live on them.

Interests Outside Climbing
Running, cycling and cricket. Political chit chat in which I will judge your character completely based on your views on how our society should operate. Sorry about that.

About My Photography
I often leave at home/in the car/at the bottom*, resulting in bad, blurry phone pictures. However I always have a good time when I actually take my proper camera and put the legwork in, and have previously managed to get pictures of winter climbing into the Guardian's weather articles. I don't put alot of pictures on here as the small image sizes tends to ruin the quality of nice shots.

If you're not sure whether I'm being sarcastic or an arsehole, it's probably the former.
