He has led expeditions to the Himalayas, climbed in Alaska, cragged in Australia, alpine climbed in India and Pakistan, bouldered in Nepal, whacked ice in Iceland, mixed it up in Scotland, pimped stone in Mexico and Europe, and scared himself silly on alpine, ice and mixed routes in the Canadian Rockies.
