I like adventurous climbing anywhere wild and beautiful. I love sea cliffs, with the waves crashing below me and the salt and spray in the air. But there'll always be a place in my heart for a grotty quarry or urban shithole.

Best Climbing Experience
Vestpillaren on a beautiful day with the calm blue sea behind us. Weaving through the tortured geology of Screaming Geo. Soloing Cioch Nose in glorious sunshine. Concrete Chimney in the evening light, the rock golden-red and glowing. Having a jamming epiphany on Bare Blåbær. The incredible True Finish pitch of Shibboleth. Dawn sunlight over Scafell. Tense teetering up exfoliating culm choss and topping out into a bluebell wood. Dusty and delicate South Stack adventures. Tufa jug hauling on Kalymnos followed by sun, sea and swimming. Soloing on Grey Crag with no-one around. The total focus of a hard redpoint. The battle of an onsight at my limit. Moving quickly and smoothly over easy terrain. Pretty much all of it really!

Best sport onsight is Kalymnos grades so not very representative of my actual climbing ability!
