My photography and writing has appeared in many publications across the world, including Climbing Magazine (USA), Gory Magazine (Poland), Klettern Magazine (Germany), Rock and Snow Magazine (Japan), Climb Magazine (UK), Climber Magazine (UK) as well as in more mainstream newspapers such as The Independent (UK).
As well as traditional print media, much of my work has been published online, including countless articles, photographs and reports on UKClimbing.com (UKC), of which I was the Editor in Chief until early 2016.
UKC is one of the world’s busiest and most respected climbing websites. I started work at UKC as Assistant Editor in 2007, and took over as Editor in Chief in 2008, commissioning, managing or creating virtually all the content on the site until I stepped down from that all consuming role in 2016 to concentrate on mountain guiding.
