Sport climbing, bouldering

Favourite Alpkit products:
1. Filo down jacket - I possibly wear it too much.
2. Jeanius jeans - although I don’t have a pair - I can’t wait for the women’s version to come out!.
3. Fat Airic mat, 700 sleeping bag and hunka bivy! - Because they make camping so much warmer and more comfortable (even at -16)!
Significant or memorable achievements:
1. Walk in to Ceuse! - That has to be the toughest thing I have done as yet.
2. Not To Be Taken Away - First highball boulder I did.
Upcoming projects:
1. Brad Pit V10
2. I am looking for a hard route in the Peak as a project but I haven’t decided on one yet.
