About the Updaters

Carl McKeating and Rachel Crolla live at the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. Having grown up scrambling on local gritstone they first ventured to the Welsh mountains as teenagers, where they sampled the delights of Tryfan and the Glyders, along with witnessing a dramatic helicopter rescue from Crib Goch. They have since hiked, scrambled and climbed all over Europe, exploring the major mountain ranges. In 2007, Rachel became the first woman to climb to the highest point of every country in Europe. The couple’s resulting guidebook, Europe’s High Points, was published by Cicerone in 2009. In 2010, Carl and Rachel completed a long-standing ambition to climb all the routes in Ken Wilson’s Classic Rock. This was followed by a three-month climbing tour of America and Carl has since worked on a Yorkshire gritstone guide. In 2013, Walking in the Auvergne – the couple’s guide to the hills of the Massif Central in France – was published by Cicerone. When they are not roaming the steeper parts of Snowdonia, Carl is working on his doctorate about Mont Blanc and Rachel teaches.
