http://allyswinton.blogspot.com/2015/01/return-to-motherland.html

Tuesday, 6 January 2015. Return to the motherland. I try to find the clues of where to go. The vague footprints that someone before me had left is a good indicator. ' Are we almost there? I look up briefly to try find my bearings, but immediately interrupted by a piercing wind on my face that makes me shy away. One step in front of the other is all I could do. the cathedral'as the guard the corries entrance tower over me. I can't write this flowery shite. I'm back in Scotland! A fine Scottish view.

Tuesday, 27 January 2015. Ventriloquist - Coire an Lochain. A few days after climbing the Auricle. With Mike and Ry, I traveled back up to the Gorms with Gav. We slept in the Cairngorm carpark in the back of his estate car, which was pretty comfortable. I manage to sweet talk him into doing Ventriloquist VII,7. Gav starting up the first pitch.

I find it funny how as a child we didnt think about things too much, we played! At what point did it change, and we found running to be an activity that we have to find time for? When did we start  going for a run? When did we stop kicking the plastic bottles around? I dont have the answers Im just wondering. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

ally swinton blog: Desmaison-Gousseault

http://allyswinton.blogspot.com/2014/12/desmaison-gousseault.html

Wednesday, 10 December 2014. The North face of the Jorasses has many amazing routes that make their way up it's mass. One route that has been in my mind for the past few years is the Desmaison-Gousseault. It is situated on the left side of the Walker spur, and follows a series of ramps. The route has a variety of different climbing from chimney squeezes, open face ice climbing to steep rock climbing. I'm not going to go into all the history of this route on my blog, but as an outline;. Photo; Jon Griffith.
