What is your preferred discipline within climbing and why?

Bouldering is my preferred discipline but I do like to break out the rack every so often and test my nerve on trad.

What's your favourite kind of rock?

Steep limestone is my favourite rock type as it is more like board climbing and this is where I feel my strongest.

Which climber of any time in history would you like to belay you and to belay OR to spot or be spotted by ? and why?

I would like to be spotted by Fred Nicole and his forearms are so big he could probably catch me one-handed.

Do you have a ritual you perform before you start to climb?

I used to pat my chalk on to my bum before every climb but now I twang the elastic in my shorts before every send.

What is one climbing area you haven't been to and would love to explore?

I would love to go to Magic Wood and push myself to see just how hard I can climb.

What is the best way to spend the day when the weather is bad enough to keep you indoors?

If the weather is no good, I like to spend my time on my home board or down my local wall creating my own problems using the existing holds.
