'I am a sport climber. It says so in my DNA, I am sure it does. If you cut me open I would read sport climber down the middle like a stick of rock. So how come I have barely tied into a rope since Christmas? I am not injured, I am not sick, I am definitely psyched. What’s going on? I like a challenge. In fact, I really like a challenge. Point me at something I am bad at and I am there. In fact, if you cut me open down the middle it would probably say that inside me too. Which probably explains why I got sucked into a boulder problem project at Raven Tor: Ben’s Roof. I am rubbish at bouldering, I am rubbish at roofs, I am (if I am honest with myself) a bit rubbish at projects too. It was the perfect challenge.

 

Ben’s Roof is amazing – steep burly climbing through, you’ve guessed it, a roof, involving kneebars, 2 finger pockets, crimps and pinches. There aren’t many problems like it in the UK, and being a Peak District classic it’s on the wish list of every aspiring local climber.'
