Skinny Kin

From Hong Kong originally but lived in the N.E. for 15 years. Now just started a new job in Llanberis. Own 1 bike, 1 car, 1 rack and half, 6 ropes; what else do you need to know. Ask me. I may tell you more.

Location
Llanberis

Best Climbing Experience
Anonach Egach in lovely blue sky and white snow in Feb, 2001 and all the foreign climbing holidays. Anything seems better when it's abroad! Ice climbing 5 ft from the road in a gorge in Scotland must be something of a novelty!

About My Photography
Mainly landscape and mountaineering. Done some portrait/wedding before. Spent many years doing 35mm but now moving to digital. Finding digital more fun to play with and cheaper on the long run.
