Best Climbing Experience
Hot rock trips abroad to Joshua Tree, Red Rocks, Bishop & Squamish. Climbing Scottish routes (in the mountains and on the west coast) and gradually ticking off Classic Rock routes. Any time when the craic is good.

Interests Outside Climbing
Ooooo a bit of surfing, snowboarding and ski touring. Sea kayaking when I find the time (got into it after spending 3 weeks sea kayaking around southern patagonia which was brilliant!). Exploring new places. And playing scrabble.... oh and eating ice lollies and having bozies.
About My Photography
Got into B&W photography after doing a course last year - love the darkroom and watching the photograph slowly appear on the paper.

Anything Else We Should Know
Penguins are great! So are Lambs!
Developing a fondness for gritstone (especially slabs).
I love the NW of Scotland and still have loads more exploring to do up there, especially around the Islands. Sandwood Bay is my idea of heaven :-) especially with a certain someone, our surfboards and rock shoes.
