Bumbling around trying to climb, run & ski better. A new(ish) big wall addict, crack climbing is slowly improving. One day I won't get scared above gear.

Location
Canada, mostly.

Best Climbing Experience
Too many to choose from... climbing trip in Patagonia... summit of Mt Cook... happy memories of limestone cragging in the sun... leading my first VS... and my first E1... first ascents in Greenland... skiing powder under blue skies... Bugaboos... El Cap... remembering all the happy days on lake district crags...

Favourite Climbing-Related Discussion Topic
Planning and dreaming. Talking about training, but never doing it.
