    About me

    I have worked within the climbing wall industry for over 15years, with the past 10years focused as a Coach and Route Setter. I am currently based within South Wales at Boulders, Cardiff. My climbing CV includes all disciplines from Alpine to Bouldering from which I have achieved high standards. My main love is establishing FA’s and establishing new areas.

    Your Setting Experience

    Having set for over 10years on a large variety of walls, I believe I have developed a wide repertoire of styles. I set many regional level competition in both Lead and bouldering including YCS events for over 8 years and Leading Ladder events (back when this was happening). I also developed the Welsh Climbing Championships for which I have set for 5 years.

    in addition to this I set regularly at Boulders and other walls in the SW region.
