spearing05
Um . . . used to climb indoors many years ago then stopped (long story), more recently (it's been about 6 years now, a long time since I wrote this) I've got back into climbing and outdoors aswell - much easier now I live in South Wales instead of South East London. Always had a love of the outdoors/hill walking etc and find climbing just adds to that. I love those times when the crag is quiet, you've had a good laugh with your partner and the buzz from getting up something you never thought you could.Location

Best Climbing Experience
Winter route on the SW side of Cwm Cneifion, Snowdonia. Way outside anything I'd done before but a fantastic day.
CMD arete on the Ben. Ski lift to 900m on Anoch Mor then hours of winter fun. What a fantastic day.
Topping out on my first e number
Finishing Tower ridge in the dark after several long waits for teams ahead. Climbing in the pool of light from my head torch.
Bosigran on a sunny Feb day leading P1 and 3 of Little Brown Jug, the sinking sun making the crag glow as I climbed the final lay back.

Last bits of gear for a while (about 15m in fact, followed by another 20m with only a tied off 13cm ice screw)
