The magazine is a really well put together publication, which obviously has a commercial angle, being a brand magazine, but in the main focusses on high quality editorial content. The last issue had a great piece by Britains most [...]

The end of one year marks the beginning of another (how profound). And it is with this in mind I look to the next 12 months and to some very exciting plans. The last year has seen me based in Chamonix in the French Alps, which has been truly fantastic. World class climbing of all [...]

A week back in the UK was not enough. In between visiting family and work meetings I managed to squeeze in two and a half days in North Wales for some climbing. My focus was to tick a line at Craig Dorys that I had my eye on, as well as do a couple of [...]
