More of a skier but can’t beat the terrifying madness of getting tradical.Best Climbing Experience
Capella/Golden slipper link up on Pavey with Alisdair after a six month hiatus.
My first E1 and E2, both on northern limestone.
Finally getting up Kipling Groove after a long mental battle.
Going to ‘have a look’ at little Chamonix in the early days. Myself and henry were dangerously incompetent but we got up.
Absolutely flying up the right unconquerable.
The crack on Gimmer on a beautiful spring morning.
