Who am I?

My name's Stu 🙂

I'm an Aussie that grew up in a small country town in Victoria. It didn't take long before I moved to Melbourne and started my professional career as a Systems Engineer working a corporate 9-5. After some burn out, and realizing that the corporate life was not for me. I quit my job and had my first experience of solo travel, climbing on the beautiful limestone cliffs around Tonsai and Chang Mai in Thailand and meeting some life-long friends and climbing partners in the process.

For the next 10+ years, I've had the opportunity to climb in some beautiful places across the world, and every trip I come home with a longer list of where to go next. And every time reflecting on what a beautiful sport climbing is, as well as the people that work in the background for the enjoyment of others.
The route developers, the guidebook authors, the organizations that maintain access and rebolting - you're my hero's!

I'm now based in beautiful Squamish, BC, Canada and it's time to give back to this sport that has given so much.

And, Codex Kit was born 🤎
