The winter moon looms over Stanage Edge creating this atmospheric shot

As our first day in Joshua Tree came to an end, we lingered to admire the rocks in the evening light, so different to their appearance in full sun.

The evening sun brings out the stunning colors of the rocks at Montserrat, as a lone climber enjoys the solitude on one last route.

Cam makes a token attempt to protect the factor 2 fall as he leaves the third belay on the 3* classic Bard (12) at Mt Arapales. Fortunately he found a better placement a move later as the first sling was quickly removed in the windy conditions.

A place of contrasts:- the stunning 6300m Illimani towers over the modern high rises of LaPaz and its surrounding slums.

Cam reaches the top of Chloe's Breakfast Special on a perfect fall day at Rumney.

Four tiny climbers make their way back across Chapel pond afters a days climbing lending a sense of scale to the scene.

Last fall we took a cold, but beautifully clear November day off work and finally found High Exposure free of the weekend crowds. As Noobs we had been working up to this all year - it was also our 10th Wedding aniversary (ahh....) so a very special day for us when we both led the final pitch. Picture taken from the final belay ledge.

Another abortive climbing day in the English Peak District. ...We actually walked up to Higgar Tor, thinking the walls that faced away from the fog might be dry!

Cam leads the upper section of Bel Ami (VS) at Curbar Edge, on a rare warm October day.

After a fantastic day on Cat in the Hat we stopped to take this photo on the drive out, this is a truely great destination for relative novices to undertake some great multi pitch trad climbing.

Not surprising that this is one of the most photographed mountains in Bolivia, but seeing it first hand is so much better than all the photos - and this is only the acclimatisation climb

I am enjoying this fun route near the playground in the Catskills, unaware that my alert and attentive belayer is concentrating on the photography!

I know this photo has nothing to do with climbing, but I love this view back up the Blackcomb Glacier on a rare sunny powder day at Whister. The two days of rain and two days of whiteout conditions were all worth it for this run....

We take our training seriously, this is not a failed suicide attempt, but an afternoon spent practising climbing the rope! Our neighbours were a bit confused...

Colour clash.....if only someone had told me how bad wearing a pink top would look in pictures taken at Red Rocks I would have planned accordingly.

Cam reaches the single gear placement on Gingerbread (VS) at Lawrencefield Quarry in the Peak District. Its not a hard climb but with the only gear at about half height don't fall off topping out.....

Heading back to the car after a late summer day's climbing in the peak district.

Cam explains the fundamentals of climbing to Conrad on his first day climbing outside.

Bethany aged 3 months having just peeled off the crux move of her first V2. Fortunately she landed right in the middle of the crash pad and was able to laugh it off. She was back on the route a few seconds later.
