Climbing since 1983. Completed the Munros, Corbetts, Grahams & Donalds all on the same day. Quadruple completion and the first on the same day(2009)
Back climbing again now in my 50s. Spend a lot of time at Quadrocks cleaning as the place was looking very overgrown and lichen had gone into overdrive. Slowly getting back up to speed on Arran. Trust the friction! Oldest now 15 into climbing. 6 foot 2 and size 12 feet made for Arran.

Best Climbing Experience
Soloing my first ever FWA of a grade 3 mixed climb on the isle of Arran. Topped out as the sun set. Best ever feeling.
El Naranjo de Bulnes as well as the picture was on my wall as a kid for many years.

Anything Else We Should Know
Well I haven't been jailed since sleeping on a Arran bus in 1987. I did enter after 2am but no one was there to take the fare so why was I punished ? I was banned from the island but have been visiting under stealth for the past 30 years. Fugitive and proud!
