I moved to Scotland a few years ago after having lived in Romania, Denmark, England, and Germany. I love mountains&ice, I love to improvise and I think I am risk-averse when I compare myself to most other climbers I have met. I enjoy lead climbing mountain routes because to me that feels like a planned improvisation.

Location
St Andrews

Best Climbing Experience
A Dream of White Horses in afternoon sunshine.
Solo (a sector of) Piatra Craiului Ridge (Winter).
Solo South Ridge (AD, 3c) Lagginhorn. It was not my plan to solo because of the extra risk, and was surprised at how much I enjoyed climbing on my own.
Photoshoot at the top of Old Man of Stoer.
Normal route on Spitzkoppe in Namibia with James (we did not finish it but we will be back!)
Deep water solo at Cat Ba in Vietnam.
Urban climbing on the Parliament Building in Copenhagen.
Arete de la Table and Petite Aiguille Verte in Chamonix.
In Pinn in winter.
Piz Badile before the rockfall :(
All alpine stuff I did when I lived in South Germany and was not updating my UKC log: Drei Zinnen (Mazzorana Führe-Ostpfeiler; Kleine Zinne-North Face); Wilder Kaiser (Predigtstuhl-Nordkante and Nordwestverschneidung); Gross Bielenhorn - South East ridge; Sulzfluh - Südpfeiler; Roggalspitze - Nord Kante; Kirchelispitze - Nord Verschneidung

Anything Else We Should Know
“Indosentia
n. the fear that your emotions might feel profound but are crudely biological, less to do with meaning and philosophy than with hormones, endorphins, sleep cycles, and blood sugar – any of which might easily be tweaked to induce unfalsifiable feelings of joy, depression, blood-lust, or kinship, or even a spiritual transcendence of your physical body.
Acronym of the supposed ‘happy chemicals’ Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins + ‘in absentia’, something done in your absence. Pronounced ‘in-duh-sen-shah’ or ‘in-doh-sen-tyah’ “ from Koenig, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows.
