Dolomite Climbing in the Bow Valley
I think the Coyotes must have been through town because I didn’t see a single cat around this year. Sorry Anna, no photos. Climbing in Canada’s Bow valley is noted for its compact limestone with a lack of cracks. One exception is the great crack that splits the face of Mount Corry from top to …
Amphitheatre Buttress
Dave & Fiona on the walk from Ogwen to Craig Yr Ysfa Sunday’s weather wasn’t quite as sunny as forecast, but that wasn’t gonna get in the way of our planned adventure up to Craig Yr Ysfa to show Dave & Fiona up the awesome mountaineering classic – Amphitheatre Buttress… We started late, so we …
Where’s it gone…?
An Alpine start, we got up extra early this morning to catch the 6.10am lift up to the Aiguille du Midi. Our plan was to climb Chere Gully on the Triangle du Tacul, but by the time we got there someone had taken away the Triangle du Tacul. In fact someone had taken away everything! …

We all know Evan-Thomas creek in winter but here is Mount Evan-Thomas just the other day, climbed by our good pals Everett and Doug. I had been thinking of returning to Europe this …
Corvus
It was wet today! So wet that we almost stayed home and looked out of the windows wishing we were more dedicated… Are we just fair weather climbers? Then we remembered what fun we had on Liewedd in January! Yes we are dedicated! We quickly got our packs together and headed to Borrowdale, our target, …
Even more antics on Ben Nevis
I didn’t want to miss out on all this adventuring on the Ben, so lucky for me Jon was keen to make the trip up north again. We left Penrith by 5.30 on Wednesday evening and made it to Fort William by 10pm. After stopping at the BP garage for a quick cup of beige …
