Paula Griffin.

Paula has worked on a number of drytooling competitions and events. She provides the brains behind the organisation, and is the point of contact for risk assessments, competition rules, event management and planning.
Very happy at drytooling venues, she is equally happy clipping bolts in the sunshine on European rock!

He has enjoyed trips all over the world including India, America, South Africa, Morocco, Canada, Alps and more. He also dabbles in the dark art of kayaking (sea & river), as well as a bit of ski mountaineering.

Ian Broadley.

Ian has worked with us for many years and has been involved in a number of trips abroad, most recently being involved in drytooling in Norway. Based in England, he is equally happy climbing both outdoors and in, and is at his best when coming up with novel methods of route-setting!







Siobhan Miller.

Joining us for the iconic Blackpool event, Siobhan juggles her love of climbing and drytooling with her university course in physiotherapy. Rarely happier than when route-setting, Sib is also a drytooling competition winner.
