Steve Long

I'm a keen mountaineer and love to push myself to my limit on rock and ice. I'm a qualified instructor and mountain guide but currently work as the chief officer for Mountain Leader Training. My favourite crag is Gogarth but I also enjoy sports climbing and have even started to do the occasional bit of bouldering but tend to save my strength and fingers for longer climbs

Location

Best Climbing Experience
Positron in February 09 with my son, or perhaps standing on the summit of Cerro Torre, or maybe one of the BMC international climbing meets
