Before
John was a prolific and gifted climber who established a host of hard, classic routes on his local gritstone crags in the Peak District.
Lines that had been eyed up by many fell to this prodigious young talent. He climbed [Old Friends](/climb/877) when he was just 14 and continued adding quality new first ascents from there, such as [Hairless Heart](/climb/878), [White Wand](/climb/870), [Profit of Doom](/climb/879) and [London Wall](/climb/871) which were climbed within a 2 week period at age 16.
From around 1977 to 1980, John lived in New Zealand where he established dozens of future classics [2]. He moved to Tahoe, USA, for 18 months (1981-82), climbing with [John Bachar](/climber/722/john-bachar), [John Long](climber/728/john-long) and [Tony Yaniro](/climber/732/tony-yaniro). With Simon Horrox, he climbed [The Nose](/climb/990/the-nose) in a day with no jumaring. [1] – the first time this had been achieved.
Shoulder surgery in early 1982 curtailed his output, but on return to the UK he began adding a plethora of high quality gritstone 'micro-routes' such as [West Side Story](/climb/880) at [Burbage West](/crag/1303).
Although his enthusiasm for climbing waned in the '90s, he returned to it in the 2010s, developing mid-grade sport routes in the limestone quarries of the Peak District.
John sadly died in a climbing accident at Stoney West in 2020 [4]. He remains a revered and fondly remembered figure in British climbing.
