We are extremely pleased to welcome Martin Mckenna to the UKC/UKH team. Martin is a keen climber and programmer living in Glasgow and a graduate of the University of Strathclyde.

He has been climbing since childhood. "I was introduced to climbing by my Dad on my 7th birthday with a trip down to the local climbing wall." Since then he has gone on to develop a full-blown obsession for both summer and winter climbing of all types, especially in Scotland.

Martin joins UKC/UKH as Assistant Technical Developer to Paul Phillips and Stephen Horne. At a time when the technical demands of the web site and app development are ever increasing it is going to be a great boost to us to have an extra pair of hands to help move things on as fast as we would like.

Well done to Martin. BTW, where's the profile pic taken? I guessed Ben Nevis at first but there is something odd going on in the right back ground - either some clone tooling or something industrial in real life?
Thanks everyone. Toby I seem to remember this picture was a panorama taken by my mate as we topped out after a night ascent of Tower Ridge. I've never noticed that before. Its probably the way the image was stitched.
