Neil has performed at a high level in every discipline from Deep Water Soloing to Sport, Ice and Traditional climbing for over two decades. In the UK he made the third ascent of Indian Face (E9 6c) in 1995 and the second ascent of Equilibrium (E10 7a) in 2001, both which were widely regarded as the hardest of their genre in the world at the time. Recently, he has gone on to excel in deep water soloing and sport climbing and has made a return to hard trad, with first ascents of Finsal Score E10 7a and Lexicon E10 7a.
