I enjoy most forms of climbing, but I guess my best style would be a long single-day trad route in the mountains, preferably at E2 or E3. Other sports include running and skiing (when I live somewhere where there is snow!) I'm also a historian: check out my book: Cities, Mountains and Being Modern in fin-de-siècle England and Germany (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1057/978-1-137-54000-3)Location

Best Climbing Experience
Either Central Pillar on Esk Buttress on a perfect day, with no-one else around, and a great partner; Or The Moon and Kalahari on Gogarth on the same day...
