Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, where do I start!?

Location
The Peak District, UK.

Best Climbing Experience
There are too many of them to choose from and they keep coming, which is the best. It is for the places, the positions and the people though utimately I climb for the joy of movement and the fun of unlocking the puzzle.

Favourite Climbing-Related Discussion Topic
There is only one discussion to be had.... where to go climbing?
Desert climbing areas, Mali, Morocco, Algeria, Jordan, Egypt.
The Highlands of Scotland - Carnmore, Shiegra, Skye, the North West, the Ben.....
I would like to do these in the future amongst many, as my wish list seems only to grow..... Centurion/Bullroar (Ben Nevis), Walker Spur, East Rib Gross Grunhorn (Bernese Oberland), Skyscraper Buttress (Sgur nan Clach Geala) and more.............
Swanage and tentatively discovering DWS. Pembroke.
Yosemite and High Sierra free climbing and the walls there......
The Peak single pitch and anything within a day trip of it, there is quite a lot :-)
How to get all of the 4000ers climbed in the alps as they are some of the best peaks with pizza nearby.
I would like to tick off all the Classic Rock ticks and as many of the Hard Rock and Cold Climb ones as I can.
And other places to go climbing...........
