| Introduction | I grew up in Tasmania and started writing and climbing when I was 15. I was very active in Tasmania climbing in the early 70s then it became more irregular as life loved along. I went to Antarctica on a climbing expedition in 1988 and to K2 in 1990. We moved to London in 1991 and I pursued a career in technology PR and went on occasional expeditions to Greenalnd. Now beyond the 9-5 I am writing and getting by as we all are these days. |
