CurlyStevo

Been summer climbing for years and quite a few winter seasons under my belt now too. Probably enjoy winter climbing more than summer, but not always at the time!

Living back down south now and missing the highlands but not the weather!

Enjoying getting fitter and leading more climbs that for me are more technically challenging.

Anything Else We Should Know
Apart from a few exceptions I've only logged climbs I've led (or top roped on southern sandstone) and then I only log the first time. Also the dates in many cases are a rough guess and there will be many I forgotton about so not added.
