Biography: Neil Gresham is one of Britain's most well known all-round climbers. He is equally at home on rock or ice and is one of the few climbers in the world to have climbed the coveted grade of E10, with his second ascent of the notorious Equilibrium on Derbyshire gritstone. His enthusiasm for climbing spans between Deep Water Soloing and 'sport-style' chalk climbing, and his recent exploits have taken him to destinations such as Sweden, Brazil, Mongolia, Cuba, Vietnam, China and Colombia in search of new rock. Neil is also the UK's most experienced climbing coach. He is the training columnist for Climber magazine and Rock & Ice magazine, and has been involved in regular coaching and personalised training since 1993.
