NEEDLE SPORTS STAFF - WILL VEITCH

Will is an active climber on rock, ice and alpine peaks. Local leads include such classics as Holly Tree Crack (E1) on Sergeant Crag Slabs, Creeping Jesus (HVS) on Shepherd's Crag and South-East, Central and Window Gullies (III, II and II/III) on Great End. He has climbed in Scotland in winter and in the alps in Chamonix and the Saas-Grund area of Switzerland. When not bouldering at the Bowderstone or painting skirting boards in the old house he has bought, he can oftern be found fell-running, at which he is rather good (best race position to date, 8th out of 95 in the Helvellyn Race 2007!).
