Rich Walker

I have lived in the Lake District most of my life. My love climbing has come from getting into scrambling and venturing and exploring new routes in the Lakeland fells. Now I have recently got into rock, (I'm just a beginner) but with my experience of the Lakeland Fells and my frequent trips to Glencoe and other Scottish mountains, I wish to learn rock skills so I can enjoy climbs.
