**Currently injured (2025)**Mostly a trad climber in summer, and sport climber in winter. Plenty of mileage on E grade multipitches, sea stacks, sea cliffs, etc., all round the UK.
Often in the hunt for mid-week partners as I tend to work weekends. I'm pretty mobile, with more gear than necessary, some idea, high psyche, and mediocre banter :)
Hunting down Hard Rock routes. Currently 43/69.
Location
Dundee - Scotland
Best Climbing Experience
Cuillin Ridge traverse in 8h.
Climbing in Pabbay in good weather.
Soloing the 5 ridges of Ben Nevis in 5h.
Soloing the Matterhorn.
