Calum jumaring back to the top of the 8a pitch, Paciencia, 3 kbIn this new series of interviews, we'll be whisking some of Britain's best climbers off to a lonely desert island and asking them to regale us with tales of their eight favourite routes of all time, before forcing them to single one out to have as their "Desert Island Climb."

First up is 21 year-old BMC Ambassador Calum Muskett from Bethesda, North Wales.

Calum is my hero!

Read 'em and weep, that's quite a list there Calum.

The Fish was pretty memorable, that night in the half-height bivi cave has to rate of one of my all time worst nights sleep - no food, no water, no sleeping bag - truly soul destroying. Furthermore, spooning you for additional warmth would probably have been illegal at the time because you probably only 12 years old (or something like that)!!

Anyhow, I digress...

Back to work

Sounds like a great series. Was always the best thing in Climber magazine (and isn't there anymore), so looking forward to more.

Really inspiring, it'll be interesting to see what Calum achieves in the years to come. The thing that strikes me most about him though is how down to earth he is, he's a lovely young fella and always asks about my photography and what I've been up to when I see him.

By the way, he's doing a talk at the Moel Siabod cafe in Capel Curig on Saturday night if anyone's in the area

Well thanks UKC. I had things to do tonight. Got down to the Grand Capucin and ended up going on a 2 hour diversion before finishing the article which was excellent btw (he's only 21???). I now have a new hunger. Becoming good enough would be a good starting point.

"Like everybody who’s anybody knows, Gogarth is the best cliff in the world. If you disagree, well... you’re just wrong!"

"It was a life ambition of mine to free climb El Capitan..."

There should be some sort of law against completing any lifetime ambitions by the age of 21...

He should've gone with childhood ambition.
