I love climbing in Pembroke, the rock is really compact and complex. Being blind makes it hard to unpick the puzzle, but finding the solution is what makes it fun! #Climbing #Blind

Central Buttress on Scafell is a route steeped in history. I had been waiting to make my right of passage for years. The Great Flake a formidable feature forms a wide crack with the crag, I took it direct. An amazing, uncompromising route. #Climbing #Blind

Destiny E2 5c 💥 Possibly my hardest non-sight to date, well chuffed. In part, it is catharsis for me; my disability was imposed upon me, fate intervened, but every time I go climbing, I give fate the middle finger. This time the voice of Destiny was louder than that of fate. 😁

Ideally, we'd find a way to restore my eyesight, unfortunately that is currently impossible. However, we've done the next best thing, found a way to improve Molly's so she's better able to guide me while I'm high up on the rock face, feeling my way to the top. SWAROVSKI OPTIK 🙏
