I recently finished a block of work for Arc'teryx, with Canadian photographer Jordan Manley. My remit was to take Jordan to as many of the major UK climbing areas as we could get to in ten days.

Our final itinerary looked like this:

27th April: Goredale & Malham, Yorkshire
28th April: Gogarth, north Wales
29th April: Llanberis, north Wales
30th April: Llanberis, north Wales
1st May: Great Gable, Lake District
3rd May: Pike O'Blisco, Lake District
7th May: Buachaille Etive Mor, Glencoe
8th May: ice climbing on Ben Nevis, followed by the Inaccessible Pinnacle on Skye
9th May: the Old Man of Stoer

Most of the time I was too busy with ropes and gear to take photos, but I did get a few.
