James McHaffie - rock climber, mountaineering instructor, climate activist and author

James McHaffie is well known in climbing circles for his high-end ascents of some of the hardest sport and trad rook climbs in the world. He has climbed over 200 routes of E7 and above. He has soled 100 Extremes in a day in the Lake District, he has completed all the climbs in Ken Wilson’s Extreme Rock book and he’s the ‘King of the Pass’ having climbed Jerry’s Roof, Central Icefall Direct and Lord of the Flies all on the same day. But he’s more than a climber and today I wanted to ask him about working for the BMC, working as a mountaineering instructor, climate activism, but most of all his new book Eleri.
