We know that the name for this site is a little idealistic. It isn’t meant as a call to action, a ‘quit your job and go climbing’ sort of thing. What we intended, and what I think it captures quite well, is the all encompassing enthusiasm that we all share for climbing. This enthusiasm has led some to take ‘don’t work climb’ very seriously and they have committed them selves to it fully. For others, their various commitments or responsibilities mean their time commitment will never be what they wish it could be.
This site is for both types of climber. We hope to provide inspiration, hard learned lessons and some practical information that will help you to make the most of your time on the hill, however long it is.

If you are reading this then it is likely that you get it. My life either consists of me being in the mountains or being unhappy trying to figure out a way to get there.
My determined effort to not become a slave to money is currently meaning I spend a lot of my time either writing or climbing.
I write about many things which I feel strongly about both on the internet and in national print magazines. I am currently based in Yorkshire and make regular trips to Scotland, the Lakes and North Wales.
