Andy Houseman: January 2015

http://andyhouseman.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Climbing, mountaineering and skiing adventures worldwide. Saturday, 24 January 2015. I Can't believe it's a month since Christmas already but once again spending it out in Chamonix was, as ever, a lot of fun. With a mix of climbing, the usual festivities but a lot less skiing than normal due to a distinct lack of snow this year, although a few weeks on now and it sounds like it has eventually arrived now.

Andy Houseman: November 2013

http://andyhouseman.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Climbing, mountaineering and skiing adventures worldwide. Friday, 29 November 2013. But it’s still very frustrating. I haven’t managed much climbing in the past few months but have a had a couple of great weekend trips out to Chamonix and the odd day out on the grit. Running up on the Chaine des Fiz, definitely the quite side of the valley but equally as stunning. Amazing views of the Mt Blanc Massif, a very special place. Reminding the arms and head how to rock climb at Cratcliffe (photo Chris Coleman).

Andy Houseman: May 2014

http://andyhouseman.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Climbing, mountaineering and skiing adventures worldwide. Monday, 5 May 2014. A belated Easter post. Josie and I started off by heading up Mont Dolent taking the easier option and staying at the Fiorio hut for a night. The weather wasn't so nice looking in the morning so we had a lazy lie in at the hut and headed up as the weather cleared around 9am (behind most of the people that started from the valley that day, opps! A Haute Savoie breakfast in an Italian hut. Just above the Fiorio Hut. With the weath...

Andy Houseman: June 2014

http://andyhouseman.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Climbing, mountaineering and skiing adventures worldwide. Saturday, 7 June 2014. 48 hours in Chamonix. Cooling off in Tré-le-Champ after a the run up from Chamonix through Argentière, La Planet and Montroc. From here we headed up to Flégère and along to Brévent before finally dropping back down to Chamonix. Has also give me a light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. Josie heading down the long decent from Brévent. The local wildlife blocking the path. In the CCC but that goal has definitely shifted to...

http://annapurna3expedition.blogspot.com/2010/11/calling-for-pick-up-hopefully.html

Thursday, 11 November 2010. Calling for Pick up. (hopefully). Pictures: 1, Nick, fully loaded on the way down, after 2 grim nights in the snow cave at 6000m. 2, Pete, down climbing after reaching high point, before being beaten back by the gale force winds. 3, Nick and Pete, heading up to Matt at the beley, battling cold hands and feet in the -20 tempertures. A few days back on the East Ridge we were beaten back by high winds, since then we have spent time in BC, resting and trying to come up with a plan.

British Annapurna III expedition 2010: Push to the TOP

http://annapurna3expedition.blogspot.com/2010/11/push-to-top.html

Saturday, 6 November 2010. Push to the TOP. Pic 1 Setting off from the Snow Line. Pic 2 On the move, still 5 hours till ABC. Pic 3 Buddhi and Santosh lighting a fire and saying a prayer. Being the BC cameraman on the trip, kinda means you got to film stuff, and despite the arsenal of cameras and video recorders that the boys are taking with them up the hill. I felt this specific occasion warranted a mountain side PAP session. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Some pics of Annapurna III on flickr. Simpl...

British Annapurna III expedition 2010: Time to go home

http://annapurna3expedition.blogspot.com/2010/11/time-to-go-home.html

Saturday, 13 November 2010. Time to go home. Well that's us just about packed up ready for Pemba to arrive tomorrow morning in his helicopter to take us and our gear back to Kathmandu – the only snag is the weather which is not so good for flying. In the past few days, the cloud has quickly built up and by mid morning, base camp has been shrouded in cloud with freezing rain - hardly the kind of weather for happy flying.
