Hi, I am John Harris Schwelm, an American who was in the UK from 1985 to 1998. Some may recall me being over there. I had a small climbing shop in Llanwrst N. Wales and rented mountain bikes. In fact I was the first person in Wales to sell and rent them. Way ahead of my time. Was manager of the Climber & Rambler shop in Betws-y-Coed. Hmmm... organized over a dozen Himalayan expeds to India. Wrote articles for the magazine "On the Edge" when Gill was the editor. Had several first ascents in the Cwm Crafnant guidebook, North Wales. Partied with too many folks who unfortunately are no longer with us, lost in the Himalayas, old age or did something they most likely instantly regretted while climbing. I do miss Wales tremendously though. I was married three times there and had 3 children from Wales.

Location
I now reside in New York state.
