Location
Somerset/the Dolomites
Best Climbing Experience
Skeleton Ridge with good chums. Climbing perfect Cornish Granite whenever I go there. Topping out on big routes in the Dolomites, especially when exploring the sleepy backwaters - the one that sticks in my mind was Hypercoldai, a big water ice route on Civetta. Any route where there's good banter, a great view, some decent climbing and a beer after.
Favourite Climbing-Related Discussion Topic
Prefer a discussion about Three Pebble Slab to a discussion about Brexit, but only just.

About My Photography
I try - what can I say... Most of my photos I've put up because they are good memories, not technically that good.
