SPORTS STAFF - DAVID PATTISON |
Our other David is also packing internet orders and selling rockshoes galore in between terms at university. He started climbing at the age of 14 and entered several of the local CABL comps but really started climbing seriously at the age of 18. Seriously means onsighting trad routes at E3 with his best redpoint to date being Penal Servitude (E5) at Reecastle. On bolts he has flashed La Pinnery (F7b) and redpointed Vagabond (F7c) both at Ceuse. |
