2010-08-30T23:00+00:00In contrast to the perfect 'Alpine' conditions we had in February for walking the Ballachulish Horseshoe, this long-weekend of walking in April was more a mixture of usual Scottish conditions - mist, rain, low clouds, snow... and one lovely day of blue skies. The summits (and photographs)... (62 photos)]]>Scottish mountaineering 2010
http://climbers.net/photos/Scottish-mountaineering-2010
2010-08-17T23:00+00:00Our first time Winter mountaineering without a guide, this trip provided us all with a steep learning curve, as well as plenty of laughs. Deep snow made for dangerous avalanche conditions which pushed us out of the easy gullies we had planned on doing, and onto harder buttress routes!... (41 photos)]]>Ballachulish Horseshoe 2010
http://climbers.net/photos/Ballachulish-Horseshoe-2010
2010-08-16T23:00+00:00On a Winter mountaineering trip to Scotland earlier this year, we had the genius plan of walking the Ballachulish Horseshoe as a 'rest day' activity... Over 7 hrs later we'd certainly stretched the legs on terrain that was grade I in places, and feasted our eyes on some breathtakingly... (46 photos)]]>Kalymnos September 2008
http://climbers.net/photos/Kalymnos-September-2008
2010-06-08T23:00+00:00Kalymnos is my favourite climbing destination that I've visited so far, and I try and return as often as I can. Because I took so many photos on my month-long trip, this gallery is split into two parts - this gallery and October 2008. (150 photos)]]>BMC Froggatt 2010 guidebook
http://climbers.net/photos/BMC-Froggatt-2010-guidebook
2010-05-30T23:00+00:00This huge guidebook covering Froggatt to Black Rocks packs details of over 2,200 routes and 1,100 boulder problems into its 528 full-colour pages. One of the most eagerly-awaited British guidebooks, it has been 19 years since the last definitive guide! I'm delighted to get so many photos... (10 photos)]]>Snowdonia May 2010
http://climbers.net/photos/Snowdonia-May-2010
2010-05-23T23:00+00:00Proving that it doesn't always rain in the mountains of North Wales ;) Claire, Noelle and myself were blessed with stunning weather as we tackled two classic multi-pitch rock climbs - Sub-Cneifion Rib near Idwal Slabs, and Pinnacle Rib Route on Tryfan. It was great to photograph Claire... (27 photos)]]>Master's Edge February 2010
http://climbers.net/photos/Masters-Edge-February-2010
2010-02-12T00:00+00:00Does any climb deserve a gallery all to itself? When the climb is the classic bold arete of Master's Edge (E7 6c) at Millstone then the answer is most definitely yes! Fog, drizzle, and soaking wet cracks and holds made most routes deeply uninspiring, but the weather couldn't dampen the... (53 photos)]]>BMC Roaches 2009 guidebook
http://climbers.net/photos/BMC-Roaches-2009-guidebook
2009-12-03T00:00+00:00This is a significant update to the ground-breaking 2004 guidebook to the Roaches area of the Peak District. It covers 1,600 routes and 800 boulder problems. You can buy a copy of the guide at the BMC website. (3 photos)]]>PositiveClimbing Froggatt 2009

2009-10-30T00:00+00:00I recently joined Adrian Berry of positiveclimbing.com and his clients Aine and Simon for a Peak Coaching Day at Froggatt Edge. It wasn't the most inspiring weather, but despite the rain an amazing amount of climbing got done, with the highlight being Aine's cool-headed lead of Three...

http://climbers.net/photos/ROCKFAX-Pembroke-2009-guide
2009-08-13T23:00+00:00This glorious full-colour guidebook is packed with classic routes and all the wonderful features that you have come to expect from ROCKFAX. It is now twice the size of the old 1995 book. One of my photos made the shortlist for the front cover, but it was edged out by the excellent shot of... (5 photos)]]>ROCKFAX Western Grit 2009 guide
http://climbers.net/photos/ROCKFAX-Western-Grit-2009-guide
2009-05-06T23:00+00:00An update to the award-winning 2003 guidebook, this new edition has a host of improvements as well as including an extra 100 pages. It's the first time that a major guidebook has used one of my photographs on the front cover, and there are also a handful of shots inside the book. You can... (7 photos)]]>Rjukan Ice 2008
http://climbers.net/photos/Rjukan-Ice-2008
2008-12-29T00:00+00:00Keen to visit Norway and start leading on ice, I saw an advert on UKClimbing for Northern Alpine Guides, a Norwegian guiding company run by Andreas Spak. The ice conditions were superb and I learnt a lot my week there. Conditions weren't ideal for good photography, but I still got some... (29 photos)]]>Stanage Plantation December 2008
http://climbers.net/photos/Stanage-Plantation-December-2008
2008-12-07T00:00+00:00I tend to take fewer photos during the British Winter, as there aren't as many days with good climbing weather. However when it is dry and sunny with very little wind, the quality of the climbing, and the Winter light, can be stunning. This is a gallery of photos I took on a busy Saturday...

http://climbers.net/photos/Roaches-Skyline
2008-11-28T00:00+00:00This is a gallery shots of the Roaches Skyline area, mostly taken in November 2008, but there are a few older shots as well. The conditions for photography and for climbing were superb, but after a few hours of standing around at 1°C I realised I was definitely under-dressed, despite the...

http://climbers.net/photos/Kalymnos-October-2008
2008-10-30T00:00+00:00I was lucky enough to spend an entire month in Kalymnos this year. I got in a good mixture of climbing, photography, running, sunbathing, and even some website work! Because I took so many photos, this gallery is split into two parts - this gallery and September 2008. (71 photos)]]>
