Over the last few years the list-loving geeks over at ukbouldering.com have maintained a list of the top 100 or so British male sport climbers and the top 100 or so British female sport climbers. Like all good lists the criteria for inclusion are quite specific and slightly arbitrary: No traverses No boulder + route […]
Firstly Alice, I want to say a massive congratulations for breaking into the 5.14 club! I think you’ve got to be really proud of the hard work and consistency that you’ve put in and that it’s all been despite an injury set back along the way – impressive! Certainly it’s been inspiring to be a […]
Ash is one of our longest serving Lattice Accredited assessors, and a bit of a beast to boot! He’s recently had a run of good form with ascents of Fat Lip V13 at Raven Tor and Ropes of Maui V13 in the Llanberis pass so we thought we’d ask him a few questions. Could you […]
We love it when a client gets to enjoy the fruits of their labour, so when Mike Adams told us he’d had a good trip to Geyikbayiri in Turkey we couldn’t help but ask him for a few more details! What were the main events of the trip? There were two big achievements during my […]
Tom has been interviewing the rest of the Lattice team recently so I thought I’d turn the tables and get him to answer a few questions!

On today’s menu we have a special treat for you…we’re going to analyse every moon board problem ever created! I don’t really know what we’ll find, if anything, but I’m keen to get stuck in to the data and see what pops out. Im going to stick to the Moonboard 2016 setup for this post […]
One of the key elements of how we improve what we do at Lattice, is building a strong team out of really capable and passionate people – we want everyone to be as obsessed as possible about getting everything to the best standards! When we first came across Josh Hadley in 2017, he stuck out […]
If you know half of anything about the history of climbing you will have heard of Ben Moon; from world class first ascents such as Maginot Line at Volx and Agnicourt at Buoux to brutally hard test pieces on home soil such as Hubble at Raven Tor. These are just some of the highlights of a very impressive […]
There’s a common stereotype that climbers who spend a lot of their time indoors lack the finesse of climbers who spend more time outdoors, but is it true?! Let’s have a look at the data! First off, what data do we have? Well before we assess or train anyone we ask them to fill in some background […]
