Favourite crag and why?
I don't know, maybe The G-Spot at Giggleswick South but that's possibly because I've spent a lot of time there and also if I didn't have a project there I maybe wouldn't feel the same way. Having said that the crag does have a really nice situation, it's an overhanging wave of rock at the head of small valley, although there are only a couple of routes there.

Favourite bouldering area and why?
Probably the South Lakes (Fairy Steps and Woodwell specifically), mainly because it's where I live but also the crags are nice places to be. Apart from my local area I'd say Fontainebleau, again because it's a really nice place to be but also because there are so many problems there.

Favourite film?
I don't really have a favourite film, maybe something like The Matrix, but I'm not that attached to any particular film.

Favourite band or album?
It's hard to say specifically as it depends on what I feel like listening to at a particular time.

What was the last book you read and did you enjoy it?
The Bible was the last book I read from (this morning). Yes I do enjoy reading from it.
