Back to some relatively higher mountains, if only in altitude, after a great week in Lofoten a few weeks ago. I saw this mountain driving back from a litte session of splitboarding at the end of last year (click here) … Continue reading

Store Ringstind (2124m), Hurrungane, Norway (14th May 2010)
Is this going to be the last post of the season….. I hope not but by the looks of the temperatures of late, the snow is bound to be disappearing. Oslo is hot, hot, hot. In fact, the whole of … Continue reading

Col des Cristaux (3601m), NE Face, Chamonix, France (6th April 2010)

Revelstoke is no more……. Well, it’s still there but I’m not. Spring was well and truly on its way before we left, so we decided to leave early instead of sitting around and I am now in Chamonix again! Oh yeah. … Continue reading
