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 …
We were up to visit Fiona’s Parents & Sister for their 56th & 30th wedding anniversaries but we managed to get a climb of Little Chamonix in as well. I first climbed this Lakeland classic with Pete about 15 years ago but have never led it before. We both really enjoyed the climb and Fiona …
Jon two thirds of the way up Behind the Lines The weather forecast for the weekend looked great on Tuesday. Every day since then it has deteriorated and opening the curtains this morning revealed the truth, it had – grey and damp. Not the best weather for the adventure Jon and I had planned… We …

We decided a strategic journey south would give us a better opportunity to do some climbing… Earlier in the year (see this) we had tried Warton quarry, but the bird (Peregrine) ban prevented climbing. We checked …
