Best Climbing Experience
Too many to list, usually something mid-graded and long:
South Ridge Direct on Arran was by far my favourite route in the UK after rushing off the midday ferry and then having to walk off in the dark.
Papillion Arete in Chamonix was pretty damn good, as were the long multipitch routes of Ailefroide, Grimsel and Terres Maudites.
Bare Blåbær on the Lofoten Islands of Norway was stunning, probably one of the best VS routes in Europe?
Doing a 500m link up route on the Chief in Squamish was pretty epic, as was climbing in the heat at Red Rocks.
Corrugation Corner at Lovers Leap must be one of the best VS routes in the world?
Lastly a mention to Anvil Chorus, A Dream of White Horses, Old Man of Stoer, South Face Direct, Ardverikie Wall and Grey Panther in the UK.
