I'm the newest member of the BigStone team, and am dealing with most things 5.10 Climbing related.
I am originally from a small town on the north coast of N.Ireland making my playground the ocean, beaches and sea cliffs. I started climbing properly* when I was 17 when a friend from school dragged me to the local wall and forced me to get to the top of this hideous artifical crack before he would take me outdoors. Once this goal was achieved and I got to climb outside at Fairhead and I was instantly addicted. Climbing has taken me all over the world and given me the chance to meet some great people along the way, and I hope to continue to explore new places and meet some new people.
Favourite 5.10 Products
- Dascents - Fantastic shoe for everyday life and for walking to the crags. Although they should come with a warning as you do find yourself testing them on buildings and walls without realising it!
- Arrowheads - Great climbing boot. Great on steep ground.
Favourite Arc'teryx Products
- Sidewinder AR - Super cool round great jacket, Great for up in the mountains or on the highstreet.
- Atom SV - old faithful! Just a great piece to have in any wardrobe.
