I'd rather be climbing

I started climbing indoors on a whim as my sister had a free place in a group she had booked into Sunderland wall. Got my friends interested, and now I stand back and watch them repeaterdly kick my sorry butt at it :( closing in on them a bit now though.....which is nice.

Email I'd rather be climbing.

Location
Washington N/E England

Best Climbing Experience
Costa Brava 2010, warm temperatures (mostly) nice rock and excellent craic. The cave belay on Prats, then taking the massively exposed second pitch to the top.

About My Photography
It's getting there, spain was a real eye opener and I learned a lot about framing a photo and being patient to get what I wanted in a photo, also I got to take photos while hanging off some slings which is just the coolest thinig ever.
