 Name: Callum Johnson D.O.B: 21/10/1991 Hometown: Scottish Highlands Sport: Climbing I started climbing when I joined the university mountaineering club, exploring the local sea cliffs whenever I could, they opened my eyes to the adventures on offer. Trad climbing quickly became a big passion and focus, making the most of weekend hits to remote and rarely travelled crags to seek out an inspiring line. I remember often being distracted through weekday lectures planning the next weekend’s mission to the mountains, sea cliffs or crags of Scotland. Winter climbing came hand-in-hand with summer rock, to me it just makes sense to do what the season is telling you. The mountains take on a wholly different look and seriousness to them in Scottish winter conditions, I enjoy the big days out with good friends climbing some hard mixed or steep ice. Those days feed the soul and live long in the memory. I have enjoyed some forays in the alps in summer and winter, and some great rock trips abroad but my heart always takes me back to Scotland. This year I am focussing on some longer projects, moving from my onsight climbing style to pushing myself and testing my abilities in a different style. I am excited for the challenge and looking forward to many more great days out with friends.
