Hi Mrs The Esk...I am at this very moment planning my winter campaign, this year it will be Skye and the Cuillens. I had a good trip this summer to the Pyrenees. Loads of good routes, and I even had a go at bouldering. But I came to the conclusion after my fifth straight 15ft bodyslam, that is a young uns game for sure.

I also managed to cram in some sea-cliff madness down in Cornwall late August, which was magical. How bout you? You going back to the Dolomites soon? The Esk also posted some cool photo's of you on Mt Blanc - how was it? Pictures looked groovy.

I love Skye, I remember climbing on Kilt rock in my 20's!

Mt Blanc was fantastic, everything I have ever dreamed of, although I got my achilles injury there with a too vigorous heel-toe cam.

One of the features of ageing is that injuries take longer to recover from but looking forward to the Dolomites after Christmas :)

Maybe I should have used a similar technique whilst bouldering! might have saved my kidneys from being dashed on the rocks!
Get well soon

Nearly fully recovered, I had an op 6 weeks ago.

Always remember most male climbers don't use their feet enough when climbing, the best climbers have amazing footwork, not big arms :)

Not just me then. Good to know. I usually try for about 2 seconds to get my feet sorted properly before getting frustrated and dragging myself up by the arms.
