Richard Creagh; climber & photographer

Richard Creagh began his climbing career in the climbing wall in UCC and since then climbing has taken him all over the world. Richard is also a talented landscape, adventure and wildlife photographer.

‘Having been interested in photography since I was a teenager it wasn’t surprising that I combined the two interests and while for the most part I just climbed, I sometimes put a bit more effort into making climbing images. It’s great to see my own photographs in the same magazine that inspired me when I started. I hope there’s somebody in a climbing gym somewhere whose palms are sweating at the sight of some photograph I took.’

Richard will be giving a slideshow about his climbing life, what climbing has taught him and where it has taken him.
