ABOUT

Bouldering is a passion of mine and I spend nearly all of my spare time at the bouldering gym. The sport is becoming more and more popular in the UK and nearly all cities now have a climbing gym. With the inclusion in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics bouldering is set to reach an even greater audience.

"Bouldering is rock climbing at it's most basic form, to climb without ropes a short sequence of moves known as a problem using balance, technique and strength.
Bouldering can be performed outdoor on rock or at indoor climbing walls usually upto height of 25ft".

Over a nine month period I worked with Matt Cousins (previous British bouldering champion 2016) and his training partner Alexander Lemel (head route setter at Mile End climbing gym) based in London.
Observing their training regime and gaining a greater understanding of the sport. Learning how to best approach the final shoot.
The series here is a set of choreographed images illustrating the discipline at its best.
