2 months of alpine action
8 weeks of alpine action has been completed.
It's been a good and varied summer as those of you following the twitter feed will know. Despite the difficult financial climate there has been no slackening in enthusiasm for alpine action from the British climbing community, and I've had some great weeks with loads of variety from 1:1 technical alpinism through to some relaxing trekking from Chamonix to Zermatt, happily managing to be in the valley to celebrate my 50th in style.
From an alpine perspective, the highlight has got to be my 4 days with Mark and Ray in late July. Two highly motivated and very fit lads making the most of their trip, with the Zinalrothorn and the Miroir d'Argentine (see photo on the right) making a fine combination.
We still have 4 weeks to go with an equally varied calendar, from trekking to the south of Zermatt to multi pitch mountain rock with Noelle and Michael.
Thanks to everyone for putting in the effort. It's always worth it!
