Climbing since 1981. Born in Northern England, I have climbed rock, snow and ice widely around the England, Scotland, Wales, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Mediterranean Islands, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and The South Pacific Islands. Currently making my home in Victoria Australia, I live by the ocean for the surf but still head to the boulders, crags and mountains, whenever I can, with Mandy and our son Kai. A family of climbers and adventure seekers.
