MrRiley
I'm based in Aberdeen and have been climbing since 2009 after falling in with the wrong crowd! Pretty obsessed now, especially with Scottish winter climbing but also love bouldering and trips to Font. A few Alpine trips under my belt now, but nothing competes with a perfect winter's day in the NW Highlands!Location
Aberdeen
Best Climbing Experience
Comb Gully with my wife, Point Five Gully in stonking conditions, Trappfoss in Rjukan and Fontainebleau in general! Cyclops on the Dubh Loch felt like a bit of turning point in my trad climbing. The Rochefort Arête blew my mind but two weeks of Dolomite climbing perfection will take some beating!
