Future ambitions

To continue my study in the ares of Security, Networking & Computer Forensics. Climb the Dru, El Capitan amoungst the many big wall climbs, as well as many of the 4000ers as I can. Learn to Snowboard and/or Ski (actually I've done these but need more work :O) ), run a marathon, do a Skydive & finally buy myself a Porsche!

My interest in climbing

If you haven't worked out already I love climbing & most weekends visit the climbing wall to try and push my grade.

My climbing grade

It depends on the type of climbing, I tend to be better at more aguile climbing that requires some flexibility, but not so good at the overhangs, which I tend to "pump" out quickly on although getting better at these as of late. I tend to climb about French 6b/6b+ but have frigged through a few 6c's (not too cleanly may I add). Outside I'm a bit more nervious, but climb to about VS/HVS (trad) or French 5c/6a sport (bolted).

My climbs

Here's just some of the climbs that I have done over the past 10 years that I have been climbing.
