A Grand Day Out, a magazine supplement with a twist, was published with Climb Magazine and was stuffed with images from yours truly.

Top climbing wads, Andy Kirkpatrick, Neil Gresham and Steve McClure, spilled the beans about their favourite climbing hardwear, rock shoes and ropes in the Lyon Equipment sponsored supplement for which I supplied many images including shots of southern sandstone, Dovedale, LPT, Dumbarton and Rodellar. Collectively, these dudes know pretty much everything there is to know about the business of climbing as well as the climbing gear that they use. A Grand Day Out is well-worth the read with stacks of solid info. from thise in the know. Get a copy and read it if you haven’t already.

Neil Gresham’s guide to climbing shoe collection opens with a shot of mine at Bowles…

Steve McClure on Gladiator (E4 6a) in Dovedale, just one of the spread from the supplement…

Steve McClure knows (much) more than a thing or two about ropes – perhaps that’s why he's prepared to take 60’ lobs onto them off routes like Rhapsody!
