The true result of endeavour, whether on a mountain or in any context, may be found in its lasting effects rather than in the few moments during which a summit is trampled by mountain boots. The real measure is the success or fall of the climber to triumph, not over a lifeless mountain, but over himself: the true value of the enterprises lies in the example to others of human motivation and human contact. Sir John Hunt, 1953 Everest Expedition Leader

welcome!

These pages are focused mostly around my climbing exploits in the Greater Ranges. However, there is plenty of information on my activities in Scotland, the rest of the UK and Europe. Have a browse of the site and the blog and you will see what I'm passionate about. Along with rock climbing, ice climbing and mountaineering there is also more information on my lecturing activities and the chance to browse the bookshop.

Expeditions: Hopefully I'll manage to keep the site updated on my climbing through my blog. You will find all the archive material from previous expeditions and also have the opportunity to keep updated on any current and future expeditions.

Lectures: You can also find out more about my lecturing. I am always available to give talks at schools or events.
