John Welford
John Welford is a third generation Steelmaker who was born and bred in Scunthorpe, he began Climbing whilst at School, traversing back & forth & back & forth & back & forth on Pete Livesy's old training wall, eventually pausing for breath and escaping to study Geology at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne...and at Bowden Doors.
Three years later after graduating from Kyloe in the Woods he realised a move to Sheffield was the best way to satisfy his need to climb.
"The closeness of the Gritstone Edges and the Limestone Dales have given me year round challenges for over 25 years now and Sheffield's awesome training facilities coupled with the City's depth of climbing talent has only served to spur me on.
I'm Still keen for more... thank you Sheffield.
