Joe, 80, who was born in Ardwick, became one of the world’s leading climbers in the 1950s and 1960s after pioneering climbs of Snowdonia, the Peak District and the Himalayas.
I love all elements of the outdoors. I am a bit of a recluse who tends to shy away from the masses and like to find a nice quiet spot for walks, scrambles and climbs. This year its all about pushing myself, learning more and embracing everything!! I've recently come back from the Swiss Alps, I did my first 4000m and still buzzing from the experience and already day dreaming of the next adventure!
