Andy started climbing sometime between the founding of the Climbers' Club and harnesses being invented. Both now play a major part in his life, although the CC is the more recent since joining in 2005. Andy has been on the committee since 2014 as an ordinary member. Now retired, Andy is in the happy position of being able to spend lots of time climbing and is available for discussion of CC business in Calpe, France, Sicily, and Kalymnos. These trips are done with his minder, Alison, also a CC member, who has his best interests at heart ... rest days are carefully selected to include six hour walks or major bike rides.
