Best Climbing Experience
All climbing experiences are amazing, but I love Chamonix and North Wales and visit both often. Best experiences include the North Ridge of the Piz Badile, the Hornli Ridge and Tower Ridge in winter.
Favourite Climbing-Related Discussion Topic
Women's issues, mountaineering techniques, ropework etc, anything Alpine, and I'm fascinated by mountaineering history, especially between the 1930s and 1980s.
I love reading and listening to climbing-related anecdotes by ordinary, and sometimes quite extraordinary people.
