Roland Edwards Spain Environment The Team

Rowland has been one of the main activist in trying to generate an awareness in climbers that we should all be taking more care of the climbing environment, particularly the beautiful headlands and cliff tops which Cornwall is so famous for. The trees which once covered some of our cliffs and have now disappeared could so easily have been saved. Although thought of as controversial, his proposals for a wider use of lower-off to protect these areas is gradually being recognised as beneficial.

Over the past seven years Rowland has been working towards the manufacture of a new removable bolt called the E-Fix, which could reduce the impact of sports climbing on the environment. It will also allow the two styles of climbing (sports and adventure) to co-exsist.
