"I started climbing at the age of 12 with some friends from school but I already had an outdoor upbringing. In my early years my dad would take me walking and scrambing in the Lake District and Wales, he has always loved the mountains. By the time I was 16 I was totally focussed on climbing and knew it would influence the rest of my life!


Over my 25yrs of climbing I have competed for 20 of them and been British Champion 7 times. I have climbed the world's highest sea cliff, bouldered 8B, climbed 8c+, and onsighted 8a+.

I now live in my van in Catalunya with my partner Kate Mills and our collection of animals!"
