Scottish Youth Climbing Championships

A couple of weeks ago I covered the Scottish Youth Climbing Championships at the Extreme Dream indoor wall in Aviemore for some of the local papers. This was my first time photographing any level of climbing, and it was an eye-opening experience -- these kids were chewing through some pretty demanding problems and making them look easy. Their bouldering skills were particularly impressive, I thought, and it's no surprise that the best photos were from that section of the competition.
