Pythonist
PhD with the Dept. of Medical Physics then for some reason picked up and moved out to California to work for a BioTech... Apprenticeship on grit, followed by a good few years getting to know big granite in Yosemite, then settled in to Alpine life in Milan. Now living back in California exploring US crags.Back in the UK, I had great fun running up HVSs, and tackling E1/2 on a good day. Most of the E3's I've met haven't liked me - but I did get the standard nemesis of Tippler Direct done; great route, but bloody hard! Yes the E4 onsight was Chalkstorm, and the E5 headpoint was Snivelling, but I don't claim to climb those grades anyway... Having great fun running up (with minimal gear) thousand meter 5.7/VS
