Been climbing for a couple of years now, either inside at St Marys/Calshot or in the great outdoors at Swanage/Portland. Busy trying to convert the 6c+ I can climb indoors to something close outside - being thwarted by lack of arm strength (partly thanks to sodding office job), but I figure the more I climb the better it will get!

Best Climbing Experience
1. Getting nicely sunburnt at Portland the day after finishing my engineering finals
2. Waking up to a cracking sunrise at Pavey Ark in Langdale
3. Getting to the top of Finale Groove without falling off
