Sunny on Scafell Pike

Saturday, 6th April 2013

I was supposed to be in Les Contamines today, enjoying some ski touring, but work commitments meant I had to postpone my departure. As consolation I went for a bit of a walk in the hills, this time without the heavy bag.

Three fantastic winter days in Scotland

Monday, 1st April 2013

We’ve just had three fantastic winter days in Scotland. Blue sky, hardly any wind, and lots and lots of ice.

Arctic Stanage

Monday, 25th March 2013

After a day at my parents we visited Paul for a trip into the Peak District. We thought a walk along Stanage might be nice. We eventually got to Hathersage and dug out a space for Paul’s car, deciding to take the 4×4 up the hill.

Birthdays and Snow

Monday, 25th March 2013

The weather this weekend is cold! But unlike the past several weekends that have seen brilliant winter climbing conditions in Scotland there’s a strong wind and almost blizzard conditions prevailing outside right now!

Ben Nevis, Point Five Gully

Sunday, 17th March 2013

Another night sleeping in the back of the car, another 4am alarm call, and another world-class classic Scottish winter route. This time on the mountain that some might consider to be the “crucible of Scottish winter climbing”, the north face of Ben Nevis.

Vallee Blanche Powder

Tuesday, 12th February 2013

After days and days of lots and lots of snow, with poor visibility and high winds keeping skiers on the lower slopes, at last the day came when we had sunshine and no wind. It had to be a day for the Vallee Blanche.

Courmayeur – better weather, awesome powder,
and the best hot chocolate in the world

Friday, 8th February 2013

Dave sent a text at 7am to say he wasn’t going out today so there would be a spare bus ticket going for Courmayeur.

Kentmere Ski Touring

Saturday, 26th January 2013

On Friday it snowed all day and well in to the night. We checked the forecast for the Saturday, and although the temperatures were rising and rain was on its way, it looked like the snow might stick around for long enough for us to have some fun in Kentmere.

Shelter Crag

Sunday, 20th January 2013

There’s been hardly any precipitation in Cumbria since Monday’s snowfall, but it’s been very cold so perfect conditions for an ice route.
