During the the first wave of the global COVID-19 pandemic Jerome Mowat volunteered to work as a front-line paramedic in London. For over five months he did not see his family as the coronavirus outbreak unfolded, and it was during these testing times that he used rock climbing as both a physical and mental escape. This is his story, documented in the award-winning short film Lock Down Rock Up directed by Nico Hambleton. Don’t miss it.
