Best Climbing Experience
2022
Dream of White Horses, Gogarth with Nolan Smyth. Fantastic route, incredible weather, stunning sights, a family of seals playing in the waves below.
2021
Onsight lead of HVS direct finish to Leviathan, Dewerstone
Doydon Point clean second on Lotus E1
Clean lead on Lunacod, Lower Sharpnose with Nolan Smyth. Stunning line, tremendous finish.
2020
Lower Sharpnose favourite venue yet: clean second of Lunacod HVS, spooky dogged seconds on The Smile and Out of the Blue, goal to tidy up and lead all three.
On sight lead sport 6b Shotgun at Intake Quarry, not bad for post lockdown climbing.

Pre 2020
First Project Battle: Goliath's Groove HVS 5a, Stanage, fell all the way up it until I learned how to climb it clean.
First Nemesis: Teaser VS4c Holyhead Mountain, fell as an inexperienced leader, escaped via top rope, went back and led it clean after a year of improving elsewhere.

First year outdoor: Ledge climb, Bosigran, I felt bold with big lady balls that day! Spiral staircase, astoundingly beautiful, I felt so confident, what a difference a year makes!

Favourite Climbing-Related Discussion Topic
Sea cliff climbs are the climbs that all the other climbs are merely practice for.
Quartzite is lovely rock, fact!
Why does gritstone torment me so?

Interests Outside Climbing
Is there such a thing? What is this "outside climbing" of which you speak?
Seriously, nature conservation, working outdoors, feeling my body work hard to conquer terrain AKA stuff that somehow relates directly or indirectly to climbing.
Gardening! Climbing trees, playing with machines.
Craft, food, bathing, sleep. Snuggling up with books and films.
Rushing about like a nutter to various pieces of music, genres vary, punky to rocky to pop of various ages to classical; mainstream to sub-culture.

About My Photography
There's not much on here yet but I do love a good shot.
I love an action shot that captures a sense of the habitats. Macros are an obsession of mine.

Anything Else We Should Know
Climbing is for everyone and everyone stands to gain from engaging with climbing. We grow as individuals and communities when we climb together.
I climb with the Devon LGBT Climbing Club and they are a fantastic bunch of humans.
