Mum and me took my 99yro grandma climbing for the first time last week. -- This is how @hollyperiperi at @womenclimb reported it: -- For Tim Dobson, watching his grandma tie in and start her first ever climb was probably not the calmest moment of his life

Ellen's cat Bramble went missing in the run up to Christmas. For 15 days, Bramble went on an extended clandestine 'shopping' trip and despite an extended door-to-door local area search nothing happened. Promising sounding leads fizzled into nothing. Neigh

If you can believe it, my main focuses of 2019 isn't climbing related. I mean, this image makes it look like I have a tiny bit of core strength and enough technique to pose for a photo. In 2019, I need to give my business more of my focus - instead of too

So pleased with how our first Climbing Clan weekend trip in a hut went this December! Despite not having weather for climbing, and me feeling very under the weather halfway through the trip, we had a wonderful weekend of adventure. Caves, climbing, new ro

The Climbing Clan just celebrated its first birthday with climbing and curry for 22 at Lal Quila. But how did it start? -- Towards the end of 2016, I had a dream. I wanted to combine my two favourite things: technology people and climbing so I started "#d

Since I started climbing with Naomi, she's pushed to climb my hardest routes, encouraged me on my first trad leads and belayed me many, many times. Very glad to repay the belays on this nice gentle white at MCC a few days ago. π· @ellencetera

Serious climbing doesn't mean seriously climbing. This is Rebecca on the first pitch of Pedestal Route (HVD) at The Roaches last weekend.

My "I've blown it face" as I tried to surf the wave but entered it with a bit too much of an angle. Thanks to Dave & all for having me at Halton on Saturday and for the fun king of the wave!

For almost a year, we've been meeting every Wednesday as the Climbing Clan and for almost a year, Jake has been a familiar face. It's our year anniversary next week, and our Fairly Tropical themed Climbing Clan this Wednesday - come climb with us?

When you try to go surf kayaking, and somehow miss the water. Went big boi surf kayaking in some massive onshore waves at Perranuthoe last week. I've been working on my side surfing on rivers and whilst I aimed to surf all the waves here straight on, I en

People sometimes ask me what I do for showers. This is not usually how I answer, but after Hall of the Mountain King, there is this delightful freshwater shower in the streamway. >> The bad news is you have to go back through the mud to wash off... The go

Fun times climbing with Eleanor at the very unusual Llangorse climbing centre near Brecon a few weeks ago. One of their bouldering walls is very very feature heavy and looks a bit like the inside of a dragons stomach!

It's hard to believe how muddy it can get til you take a trip down Mistral and visit the Hall of the Mountain King... Somehow, one of my favourite caves!

The climosaur digging deep on Wednesday. Wonderful to watch the Climbing Clan come together for the Halloween Costume climb. If you're ever running away from a big blue T-Rex, climbing is a useful skills to have. It's so much harder for them - they're bas
