I love all kinds of climbing, but for me it's all about the adventure, going to new places, doing inspiring routes and also about the people you are with. I am trying to fit in as much as possible around having a five year old who has now started climbing himself, he says: "I prefer bouldering"...oh dear! But he has been getting up some great routes lately, if he can be persuaded!! Need to get fit again, work in the office is no good for you!!
Oh and the best place for training is Wolf Craig
Quarry

Location
Central Scotland

Best Climbing Experience
There is a long list: 3 months climbing trip this year around Corsica, France, Austria, Switzerland and Germany, West-Ridge of Salbit, first ascents in Greenland, Gervasutti-Pillar, SW Pillar on Tofana di Rozes, Comici on N-face of the Cima Grande, ice couloirs in Chamonix in winter, Repentence Super, a gorgeous winter's day ascent of Central Buttress on Beinn Eighe, a glorious May rockclimbing in the Northwest doing routes such as Angelface, granite routes in Corsica, La Demande 6 months pregnant, most winter routes I do including Minus two in March '10, weeping fingers after five days of sunkissed bouldering in Font, Steeple, NW Ridge of Bugaboo Spire, the list goes on...
