So the first half of 2017 has been pretty awesome so far, and super eventful to say the least. I think the best way to show what I’ve been up to is through some of the pictures that have been taken along the way. So here they are… Kandersteg In Feb Andy Inglis and …
So the last couple of weeks have been interesting. At the end of January I was helping with some on the hill training for Tiso staff on loads of awesome products from Scarpa, Grivel and Deuter. It was cool to get out on the hill with all the psyched staff and give them a bit …
So on the 2nd of January, I finally managed to get a winter route done in Scotland. The conditions have been super fickle this season, and if it’s not been in the plus 10ºc range, its been up to 100mph+ winds! Everyone I know that is into winter climbing in Scotland is finding it very …
Its been a crazy 12 months since I left Canada, and I know what your all thinking whilst you read this, Yawwwwwwn, not another bloody bear related post! So I’m not going to bore you with one, but here’s a wee insight into what I’ve been up to recently. Rehab was slow to start with …

Ok so I’ve been in Canada for a week now, and its been, well… SNOWY. The day after I arrived it dumped with something like half a meter of snow overnight. This made for interesting mountain conditions. We attempted to put a trail into the base of a route we wanted to try later in …
There’s been a big gap since I last wrote a blog post, and a lot has happened since then. My winter season died off fairly rapidly after climbing Banana Wall. I felt it best to end on a high, and I was well and truly mentally drained after a few weeks of demanding routes in …
Back in December 2013 I walked into Coire an Lochain with Dougie (the yellow ranger) Russell to try a particularly interesting looking route. It was a route that I had spied with Guy two seasons previously when we were walking in to do something else in the coire. From that day it had been niggling …
Sunday around 6pm: I jumped in my girlfriend’s brother’s pickup which he had lent me and headed for Inverness.
