We phoned the plumber this morning. I think French plumbers go to the same school as British plumbers. They could no longer come today, how about tomorrow?!?
Another sunny day, another adventure from our new guidebook. Voie Frison-Roche on the Brevent East Face is described as THE classic of the Aiguilles Rouge, so of course, it just had to be done...
Hey guys, is this one for you? We think you should go for it!
We have a new guidebook - the new Michel Piola The Aiguilles Rouge (English version) - so we looked for something reasonably short for our first day in Chamonix...
It was the last walk of the AW Thursday night walking group, and true to form for this year the weather was rubbish.
Finally we managed to meet up with our friends from Zurich for a nice and easy mountaineering route up the Grassen in the Berner Oberland region...
If the Dolomites hadn't been enough for the old legs, we finished off the holidays with the Phoenix long o/mountain marathon near Rothbury in Northumberland...
The climbing wall at Ratho (the EICA; Edinburugh International Climbing Arena) has got to be the biggest climbing wall I've ever seen! It has almost the same ability to intimidate as a real crag...
If you were thinking that the last post was without cake, think again!
