Cragging is okay, but I get a little bored with it, the mountains are where my heart lies, summer and particularly winter.
Bitten by the new routing bug, I can often be found in a quiet Coire somewhere being dragged up something hard by the skin of my teeth, or even better leading something myself and getting utterly gripped but loving it! Winter climbing is where it's at!
I'll never be a 'hard' climber, too much of a wimp but love long, easy routes in the mountains, the longer and more remote the better.
Otherwise I'm not adverse to a bit of shameless red sock rambling, Munro and Corbett bagging and more recently running up and down Grahams, when injury allows.

Best Climbing Experience
Too many to chose from!
All days out in winter are good, but noteable memories,
having an epic day on the 1st ascent of a new route on Sgorr Ruadh, and my 1st experience of gradeV.
New routing in the NW and far North of Scotland
Leading every single pitch of my dream VS, Sword of Gideon.
sleeping under the stars or shivering in a bivi bag (usually when I've been dim enough to forget my tent poles!)
