Keith — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 12:22:55 +0000

After a twelve month gestation period, Climbing 2011, my rock climbing calendar for 2011 is back from the printers and is now shipping! Initial feedback suggests that others think it’s a cracker too. Positive feedback is a real blast for any producer – so I’m pretty happy at the mo…

As leaked in a previous blog entry, the 2011 ‘Be in My Calendar’ Competition winner was Liam Lonsdale from the Lakes.

climbing:2010 now rolling off the press…

Keith — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:28:22 +0100

Do the years just seem to roll by to you? Yeah, same for me – especially since I’ve been in the calendar business; man they seem to zip bye! Anyway back at the point, I heard today that Climbing:2010, my sixth rock climbing calendar, is now rolling off the printing press at Printworks in Sheffield. Next up is collating, trimming, binding, shrink-wrapping and then... bingo – it’s time to start shipping! ETA is, at the moment, a (known) unknown – but it’s pretty darned soon so watch this space…

And the winner is…

Keith — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 00:33:54 +0100

And the winner, scooping top prize in this year’s ‘Be in my calendar’ competition, is Alastair Smith from Chester. The competition on top UK climbing website, www.ukclimbing.com, was to find a willing victim to feature alongside the good and the great in climbing:10, next year’s climbing calendar.

Steve Mac heads into the mountains on a mission…

Keith — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 23:53:44 +0100

Acting on a half-decent forecast, Steve McClure was keen to head into the (Welsh) mountains last Saturday on a mission to boldly go where (few) had been before. But straining under rucksacks bulging with climbing and camera kit we weren’t travelling light nor fast. Chances were that the walk-in would kill us never mind the climbing!
