Climbing since 1983. Completed the Munros, Corbetts, Grahams & Donalds all on the same day. Quadruple completion and the first on the same day(2009)Back climbing again now in my 50s. Enjoy climbing with my son 16 now who seems to have the bug. Winter on Arran I really enjoy being solo. Refining the art of roped solo is without a doubt my biggest passion.

Best Climbing Experience
Soloing my first ever FWA of a grade 3 mixed climb on the isle of Arran. Topped out as the sun set. Best ever feeling.
El Naranjo de Bulnes as well as the picture was on my wall as a kid for many years.

Anything Else We Should Know
Well I haven't been jailed since sleeping on a Arran bus in 1987. I did enter after 2am but no one was there to take the fare so why was I punished ? I was banned from the island but have been visiting under stealth for the past 30 years. Fugitive and proud!
