One from my last climbing trip with Paul to the Alps in 2019.
Exhausted and happy after an eight hour climb with one of the most memorable abseils we could have done.
One of my favourite photos of us together, we had a rest day on our climbing trip and went down the the 'pool' to sit and chat. We had a lovely day of just catching up, I just wish I could remember what I was describing at that precise moment.
Ailefroide 2019 - About to get on a 12h drive back to London, and still with energy for some silliness
Christmas 2019 - As a first time dad he still managed to come celebrate with (part of) the BCC family

From a fantastic trip to Mallorca which Paul organised. I spent a lot of the trip climbing with Paul, including a memorable day climbing followed by an equally memorable evening chatting deep into the night while waiting for other climbers to finish

A lovely summer afternoon in the garden with Paul and Indy. Pure delight.
High summer in North Wales. Heading home, late. Back at the car, 250 miles from home, Paul asked me: "I need to stay awake to drive us home. Please can you talk to me non-stop for five hours?" He always was a good listener.
Indy's first climbing lesson? This was followed up with Paul's videos of Indy climbing on the furniture at home, encouraged by a very proud Dad.
Fun times in Tooting!
Circa 2005, probably too late and too much curry.

Packed up and ready to go, Alps trip, 2019
The BCC Christmas competition involved fancy dress, and Paul - trying to stay low-key- arrived dressed as… Paul. Clearly in breach of the rules, he was dressed up from random props and being the great guy he was, wore his new attire all night! (Aj)
Embracing fancy dress climbing the following year! Ajeeta
Master at work!
Swanage April 2013 - I think this was Paul's first trip out with Brixton Climbers
April 2014 - A rather damp weekend saw us taking shelter at Lawrencefield but Paul still smiled as he tiptoed up the slabs there.
