I started climbing as something to do after work about two years ago. I stopped for a 6 month period when I moved to University then joined the climbing club and have been climbing at least twice a week since. I've been climbing outdoors for about 6 months now and have just bought a shiney new trad rack and plan to travel the world with it.Location

Best Climbing Experience
Probably in Costa Blanca. Not a specific route but I started climbing outdoors in November. I decided that I prefer indoor climbing. It was freezing cold, I was petrified even 2 foot of the ground and I couldn't tell if my hands were actually touching rock or not! Went to Spain in March and the warm weather, hundreds of routes and fantastic rock, plus a little more outdoor experience by this point made me fall in love with real rock. Now I feel like a cheat when I climb indoors.
