As a psychologist, he has helped many people improve their performance/develop their potential. He is published in over 25 countries. He has written dozens of articles for specialist magazines, e.g. Climber, Climbing, High, Mountain, On The Edge, Irish Mountain Log, Summit. During the last few years, he has made over 100 First Ascents. It's basic human nature to want to do better. We've gone from living in caves to exploring outer space. We now know that the only limits to human progress are self-imposed ones.In the USA and the UK, the average' grade seems to be about 5.9 or HVS/E1. Certainly, in climbing walls and gyms, the most popular grades seem to be F5 to F6b (sport, i.e. French' grades) That's about 5.9 to 5.10d. Information on training? There's mountains of it! But again, most climbers just don't have time to plough through all those mountains for the right approach to help them raise their game. All too often, attempts at improvement end up in failure. But it doesn't have to be like this, it really doesn't. Let's look at a few people who succeeded. "So often now, I see people 30 years younger, struggling on climbs that I can do with ease. No, I don't feel in any way superior (there are plenty out there who can kick my ass!) Mostly I just feel frustrated because I could help these people to climb harder, probably far harder than me, if I could only get to spend some time with them."
