If there’s one thing which has always drawn me to climbing, it’s the variety of it!
It’s the sporting equivalent of an Arts degree, observers tend to assume everyone does the same thing, but internally there are more subgenres than reggae (or so I’ve been told by the Tonsai locals). As a kid, I had a tendency to bounce around between hobbies, usually right after investing in some spenno kit (sorry Mum). Needless to say, when I discovered climbing, nobody expected it to last long, not even me. In my head I always told myself if I got bored of bouldering then I’d move on to sport climbing, then trad, then ice climbing, then big walling, then alpine climbing, and so on and so on, until I’d finally be forced…
