Author: Steve Scott
Based in the Lakes Steve has been climbing for half a century! Steve enjoys the people and the adventures, he loves the amazing places that we climb - he doesn't enjoy the wall, as he usually hurts himself. Steve's occupation is editing the latest FRCC guidebooks, drawing the material together. Steve is also a sometime sailor, regularly instructing on a yacht off the West coast of Scotland and has been known to ride his bike or 'run' very long distances in fairly short periods of time... although he doesn't like training. He would like to see more members becoming engaged with running the Club and informing its future direction.
