I'm a freelance product designer for the Outdoor Industry and owner of Casa Alfredino, a climber and skiers lodge in the Dolomites. Not much good at climbing, but I enjoy it as much as I can. Frequently opinionated and frequently wrong.

Location
Somerset/the Dolomites

Best Climbing Experience
Skeleton Ridge with good chums. Climbing perfect Cornish Granite whenever I go there. Topping out on big routes in the Dolomites, especially when exploring the sleepy backwaters - the one that sticks in my mind was Hypercoldai, a big water ice route on Civetta. Any route where there's good banter, a great view, some decent climbing and a beer after.

Favourite Climbing-Related Discussion Topic
Prefer a discussion about Three Pebble Slab to a discussion about Brexit, but only just.

About My Photography
I try - what can I say... Most of my photos I've put up because they are good memories, not technically that good.
