Have been instructing since I dragged my less-keen mates out when we were 14 - just always seemed a natural thing to do; have always found I can get as much out of providing an experience for others as I do from experiencing it myself.Have a pretty reflective attitude to both climbing and life; always on the lookout for new experiences and love to be able to draw on these and apply them to new situations - probably why I enjoy the problem solving aspect of cimbing.

Best Climbing Experience
Climbing itself is an experience of a lifetime, and I hope to spend an entire lifetime experiencing it...
Seeing shooting stars while night-climbing at the Dewerstone; taking someone I was head-over-heels in love with on their first big multipitch route; climbing with the same person years later, now as a couple and still head-over-heels in love; topping out on Mont Blanc with my best friend after years of climbing together; laughing in the pub about what an excellent day we've had and knowing that there will always be another challenge just around the corner...
