Story

For the last two years after being diagnosed with RP I've tried my best to keep the adventurous lifestyle I live. At times it hasn't been easy but then I wouldn't want it to be.......

Now I have the chance to prove to myself that big dreams can come true if we work hard enough. A year in the planning and training to try and prepare myself for the biggest challenge I have ever faced, a 3000ft rock face Solo. The scariest thing is to commit to try something so extreme and make it public, now after a year all that's left is to climb it!

Thank you to my wife Caroline for the support and inspiration and all of you. Wish me luck........
