Pinnacle Ridge on St Sunday Crag, 10th March 2015

I've swapped ski touring for R&R at home this week, to be at home for Anne's birthday. Sam & I had a day out with our friends, Henry, Tom and William Vyner-Brooks - St Sunday Crag via Pinnacle Ridge, Birks Fell & Arnison Crag. The boys climbed well and the banter was good, the weather fair and positively warm later on. A great day out.

Ski touring, Chamonix valley, 18th February 2015

Blue skies, powder snow and a temperature inversion - another beautiful day with Lynne, Tim and Neil.

Well done to the team. :-)
