Strengths: Knowing my weaknesses
Weaknesses: Relying too much on my strengths

Now learning to rescue mountains in Teesdale/Weardale.

Location
Leamington Spa

Best Climbing Experience
Having an amazing time in Switzerland, mainly around the Grimselpass area in the Bernese Oberland. The bestslab climbing I have ever done, also forgot how much I like bolted climbs when it's been done properly.

Soloing in the evening sun at scugdale, my local crag.

Having an awesome day in fantastic weather on Black Ladders ice to ourselves whilst every other man and his dog were in Idwal.

Interests Outside Climbing
Mountain biking when I kick my arse into gear! Photography of the very amateur level!
Did the Rat Race up in Edinburgh for the first time (july 06), had a fantstic time and did pretty well too, will be back next year (hopefully will have got the mushed up banana out of my clothes by then)!

About My Photography
I range from one end of the scale to the other, I either use a disposable camera when I'm climbing or my SLR for posh shots. I don't use any computer enhancement tomfoolery as I don't think it's right, it creates an art piece not a true photo. 'The Earth is art, the photographer is only the witness'

Got thrown out of boyscouts for being too prepared.
