Neil has performed at a high level in every discipline from Deep Water Soloing to Sport, Ice and Traditional climbing for over two decades. In the UK he made the third ascent of Indian Face (E9 6c) in 1995 and the second ascent of Equilibrium (E10 7a) in 2001, both which were widely regarded as the hardest of their genre in the world at the time. Recently, he has gone on to excel in deep water soloing and sport climbing and has made a return to hard trad, with first ascents of Finsal Score E10 7a and Lexicon E10 7a.

Neatly coinciding with the reopening of climbing walls in the UK, La Sportiva are releasing the new Kubo; a shoe aimed at indoor climbers. Using the classic Katana as a starting point, La Sportiva have made several changes to suit those smeary volumes and small edges. There's a men's and women's version with a different type of rubber on each.
