I started climbing and mountaineering at 14. I have climbed and led expeditions all over the world on six continents. I train and assess HML, ML and I am one the UK's most experienced SPA providers having trained and assessed on over 100 courses.
I live in Sheffield but spend my winters in Scotland.
I am also a qualified photojournalist and was lucky enough to accompany and photograph Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker on their legendary American Wideboyz road trip which culminated in their ascent of the hardest off-width rock climb in the world.
