Broken Back 23 Aug 2013 | 11:40 pm
I had a brilliant trip to Spazzacalderia with John Topping. We were both moving well on the long granite routes which all involved multiple abs to get off. Any kind of error on the descent would have ...
Ski Touring Round Up 3 May 2013 | 07:53 pm
I have been holding off writing this post until the end of winter but with snow on the ground in Aviemore this morning it looks like there might be at least another week of skiing to come. The best c...
Coire Laogh Mor 14 Dec 2012 | 01:45 am
A good start to the season on Cairngorm. Nice snow in Coire Loagh Mor yesterday and great to be able to ski right down to the bottom car park (almost). This is the Coire east of Coire na Ciste at Cair...

It's ten sleeps from a couple of big Indian camps in either direction (or was), before we killed them all. The town is small, a bit run down, has a couple of motels, a good cafe for breakfast and a ba...
Crack Shock 3 Sep 2012 | 06:40 am
Hot and slippy. Flaring cracks, not much for the feet. 10a feels like E2. Yes, we're having a hard time on Boulder Canyon cracks (not to mention Estes Park). Did I really climb that large piece of roc...
Boulder 2 Sep 2012 | 09:09 am
To the east, completely flat for 1630 miles, then sea. To the west mountains. Looking forward to a month of cragging in this climbing Mecca that I've only just got around to visiting; perviously writt...
