Climbers

Sheffield-based climber and techno stalwart. Not to be confused with the '80s legend of the same name Simon Nadin.

Henry Barber:

Steve was one of the most visionary climbers I ever climbed with. He put up hard climbs that were ahead of their time by a decade. I was known more for scary onsights, but his climbs compared to mine were futuristic by 20 years harder than anything I did. It took over a decade for Steve’s 'Psycho Roof' in Eldorado Canyon to be repeated. [2]
