Best Climbing Experience
Climbing at Stanage as the sun went down... too quickly! I ended up cursing whilst looking for gear placements in the pitch black. Memorable.
"Christmas cragging" with the old Rock Face crew brings back fond memories, as do the "lock ins" at the wall.
"Tarping it at Stanage" - Driving to Stanage at 3 in the morning to get a parking space and early start. Slept next to the car under a tarpaulin. Woken once at about 6am by a ranger complaining that we were breaking foot and mouth rules by "camping", and then woken again about midday by school groups stomping past us. Yep, we overlsept under a tarpaulin in the Stanage car park. Ridiculous.

Anything Else We Should Know
Moved to Norway September 2007 - climbing took a surprising downturn (frequency-wise) but things are looking up.

Eldest daughter had her first climb at the age of 4 :)
