Inishowen

Email User

I am Peter (1965) Ex-Leeds-based climber, moved to Inishowen, County Donegal 2002(for climbing, oh and love). Had 7yrs+ quality-new-routing fun, mostly with members of the Colmcille Climbers' Club; of which I became President.

Assisted Alan Tees with the annual Culdaff/Donegal Climbfests and produced photo-topo guides. Served as Donegal Guide Editor after Alan Tees (ex-CCC President and Ex President of MI) passed the role on. I have written historical, Donegal-related, articles for IMC Journal and Irish Exploration Journal.
Assisted in very minor role with Climbers' Club Mid-wales guide.
Name-checked in several Irish guides. Have climbed new routes in Yorkshire, Ireland and Wales so far...

Major accident at Trefor Rocks, Llangollen (June 2009). Fixed lower-off equipment failure. A big thanks to the thieves who stole the original, large-sized, maillons; the smaller sized replacement failed. The accident has screwed up my climbing, my career and opportunities for my children big-time. Multiple surgeries 2009-2015.

Hoping to get back into career and to climbing when fully healed.
Currently based in Wales.

About My Photography
Really enjoy capturing the moment, whilst trying to let the landscape have a starring role too - 'sense of place'.
