Trevor Suddaby

Trevor "Trev" Suddaby, Needle Sports' Shop Manager, was born and brought up in Cumbria and has climbed in the Lake District since he was 14. He has also climbed in many other areas of the UK, Europe and the USA. If the Lakes crags are wet he will most likely be heading for Yorkshire limestone, or for the last few years sunny rock in southern Spain. Memorable recent sends include Obsession (7b+ Malham), Song For Europe (7b+ Chapel Head), La Demande (Verdon), Shaken Not Stirred (E6 6b Iving Crag), The Keel (V9 Almscliff) and Stefan Grossman (V9 Langdale boulders). Trev is pretty handy on a slack line and more recently has taken to racing mountain bikes. In his youth before he took up rock climbing he was a champion orienteer for his age group (twice British champion and JK trophy winner). Trev has contributed many gear reviews to On The Edge & Climb Magazine.
