Best Climbing Experience
Two moments in particular stand out: topping out of El Cap after completing The Shield with Alex Haslehurst and summiting the North Face of the Eiger via the 1938 Route with Jack Geldard. Both represented things that I never thought I would (or could) do when I first started climbing. Whilst it isn't climbing, I'd rate the experiences I've had on the various Big Rounds I've done, which include the Paddy Buckley, Bob Graham, Charlie Ramsay and Mark Rigby Rounds, as en par with any route I've ever done.
That said, the end of a day's climbing at Gogarth or Pembroke still take some beating...

About My Photography
Up until a few years ago the words 'point and click' would have summarised my photography quite nicely. In 2014 I invested in a Canon EOS M and this sparked a greater interest in photography/composition; however, it was not until 2015 when I bought a second hand Canon 5D MkII that I started to fully understand how to shoot manually and get even more involved.
