A lover of the wild places. I enjoy a good route regardless of grade. I am a steady climber who hasn't fallen off leading for 8 years. I climb crags and mountains, summer and winter, free and aid. At the moment I am dreaming of long committing big wall routes.Location

Best Climbing Experience
Couldn't pick just one. Climbing Coronation street (Cheddar) as a relative beginner with my brother. Back rope soloing Captain Swing in the Avon gorge. Taking my dad round the snowdon horseshoe in winter. Leading every pitch on the first ascent of Savtakkerne (Greenland). Nailing that first modern A4 (what a psycological barrier) and realizing I had made harder practice routes. Being the first to stand on the top of a quality sandstone tower in the Utah desert.
