Best Climbing Experience
- first Font 7b, Crazy Horse at Apremont, ticked on 1st day, new skin and fresh!
- first E1, Central Buttress on Scafell Crag with Tom Hull, took 6 hours, what a route!

- first E3, Telli at Stanage. Soft touch for the tall, part of a great weekend!
- summitting the Barre des Écrins unguided in Summer 2010, awesome to stand on the top of my first 4,000m peak!
- passing my Summer ML Assessment in Summer 2012, culmination of a year's hard graft and putting hill walking ahead of climbing!
- brilliant sport trips to Spain with Tom, getting 7b on second go in Margalef
- Costa Miserables, 6 pitch mega route on Penon in Calpe with Tom, unbelievable exposure and a brilliant day
