Chris the Tall RIP

Married, climbing for over 30 years, mostly on peak grit, mostly in the VS-E2 range.
Tall, a bit too heavy and completely lacking in upper body strength.
Can occasionally be found soloing the classics on Stanage and Burbage, but have recently gone the way of many middle-aged men and got a bit too keen on cycling.
Formerly Peak area rep on the BMC National Council.

UKC Note - Sadly Chris was killed in a snorkelling accident in the Costa Blanca in November 2018. He was a prolific and much-loved contributor to the UKC community and will be sadly missed. We are leaving this profile here in memory of Chris.

About My Photography
I just point and shot, though not necessarily in that order. Been using a Canon Ixus for the last few years, and just bought a new one, though don't expect any dramatic improvements.
