Best Climbing Experience

Memorable would be a better description but ....... deep breath! One hundred routes in a day on Stanage. Walker Spur as my second ever alpine route. Central Pillar of Freney in my first alpine season. Still one of the wilder bivvies that I have had to take. North Face of Eiger by the 1938 route Taking 1970's Lakes star Ed Cleasby up Footless Crow. Calvary (Stanage) on a very windy day. Skye Ridge the day after my final exam at college. Diamond Couloir on Mt Kenya. Winter solo of the Swiss Route on Les Courtes. Watching a Brocken Spectre whilst climbing the upper arete of the Yellow Edge in the Dolomites, spooky! Winter ascent of Moss Gill Grooves on a perfect day with no-one else on the mountain. Route Major on Carn Etchachan on yet another perfect winters' day. Bowfell Buttress in winter. Royal Arches Route in Yosemite. Having my rucksack dropped at 6000m in the Karakoram. Then spending a further 6 nights out on the hill. The Bob Graham Round (OK not climbing but it is in the hills)
