Best Climbing Experience
On Keelhaul (E2 5c), a delicious slab climb at Bosherston Head, Pembroke. I was leading the crux when my belayer John Nolan yelled to me to look down. And there in the sea was a seal, watching it all with profound interest. Great.
Favourite Climbing-Related Discussion Topic

Interests Outside Climbing
