Best Climbing Experience
I couldn't pick one, I love variety in climbing. My most memorable experiences have tended to be intimidating, almost too hard, and well away from the crowds in a beautiful place.
Moonlight Buttress in Zion, the Needles and Incredible Hulk in the High Sierra, new routing in Norway, high Swiss granite, sandstone towers in the desert, many a wild day on Britain's sea-cliffs.

Favourite Climbing-Related Discussion Topic
Lesser-known places, quality climbs, why pegs are bullshit, why everyone should care a bit less.
