The climber Tom Ballard has just completed his "Starlight and Storm" project, where, alone, he climbed the the six great North Faces of the Alps.

At 26, he has become the first person to climb all six Alps faces in one winter season. Tom, is the son of Alison Hargreaves, who died whilst climbing just before Tom's 7th birthday.

Tom was surprised nobody had attempted to do this before:

"These days it's very difficult to find things that haven't been done before," he said

Tom doesn't think climbing will ever become more dominated by women.

"There's more women but not that many more. The world is chauvinist I think it probably always will be unfortunately."
