French Erick

Email User

Born 1979.
French immigrant living in Scotland. I grew up in the Ubaye valley (southern Alps) and it all started there. I used to be a better rider (ski/ telemark/ snowboard) than a climber but I'm away from the slopes and I really enjoy my climbing now . I earn a living by trying to teach French to Scottish teenagers (who by and large are not interested...delayed gratification not being a teenager's forte.)

Location
Black Isle- Highlands

Best Climbing Experience
Any time with good mates on multi-pitch crags (summer/ winter)

Favourite Climbing-Related Discussion Topic
the outdoors and snow.

Interests Outside Climbing
Books (and sadly enough dictionaries...).
My first love are tracks free powder fields with any guns on my feet.
Canoeing (no not kayaking...one blade action).
MTB- although I would not call myself a biker (I just tag along with them).
Most DIY; just because I grudge the money when it's possible to do as well myself.

About My Photography
I'm lazy but do enjoy a look at them though!

Seem to suffer from post natal disorder since January 2011 (lame excuse for being soft).
