Since I have been climbing I have lived in Lyon, Leeds, Bristol and now Munich. Here I mainly enjoy longer rock climbs. Cragging-wise I really miss Pembroke and the Peak - there's just nothing remotely as good in Germany.Location
Munich
Best Climbing Experience
This would be my two-day ascent of the Steger Route on the Rosengartenspitze, on which we took a wrong turn and ran out of daylight, ending up sleeping in a cave and completing the route the next day. Sadly I was too cold after the bivvy to want to photograph the sunrise over the Marmolada. My failed attempt on Zodiac at St Govans, which also ran out of daylight and didn't quite end up with having to ab into the sea was also pretty good.
