Here's where you can find details of upcoming events relating to my guiding work:
The snow cover in the Alps is the best for many years at this stage of the season.
Another fantastic Kendal Mountain Festival just completed: a marathon 4 days, 300 screenings of over 80 films, lecturers like Messner, Breashears, Lecluse and Kirkpatrick, and a record 6000 pints of beer consumed over the weekend.
My programme for the 2009 ski season is now finalised and available for view on my online calendar
What's the weather like out there?
"It's hot. Damn hot! Real hot!
Hottest things is my shorts.
I could cook things in it.
A little crotch pot cooking."
The alpine summer has started with a splash! Good for the flora but not great for alpinism.
Along with Neil MacNab, I have just received a Citizens Award for Bravery from the US Dept of the Interior.
