When I'm not busy at work and the weather is calm I try and get outside as much as I can. One of my favourite things to do is to go climbing there are some great winter routes close to the base which has allowed me plenty of opportunities to improve my climbing.

Straight from the fridge on North Stork
One of my first winter climbs was on North Stork, Blair led us up Straight From The Fridge.

It's always good to be belaying when you've got a stunning view

| Belaying on Irn Bru Butress |
Squeezing my way up Irn Bru, it was an interesting climb as the snow was very thin and loose.

I have also been learning to ski which has been a lot of fun and a lot of hard work!
Skinning up vals for my first ski lesson.
My second trip down vals was also combined with my last glimpse of the sun, a small group of us sat at the top of vals to watch the sun rise and set all within a few minutes.
