Alps

Paul on the approach to the Covercle Refuge.

A mixed week in the Alps lots of rain at the start of the work produced lots of fresh snow making routes like Mont Blanc de Tacul hard work.

Alps

Off to the Alps tomorrow, its a busy life!

Cornwall


After a few days on holiday near Sennen I met up with John for a few days at Bosigran. This is the third year in a row that I have worked with John and in that time he has gone from a begineer to being a very competent second on multi-pitch routes and now also being able to lead many of the pitches. Its great to see someone of 50 developing these skills and getting very fit!

Routes included Big Top (VD), Ledge Route, (VD), Doorway (S) and Ding (HS). The picture shows John on the top pitch of Doorway at Bosigran.
