L'index, Chamonix
SE Ridge of L'index
A nice warm-up of 4 pitches of climbing on L'index with Rob and Steve on day 1 in Chamonix. Lovely little route, not much more to add! Thanks to Rob W-M for some of these photos.

Offa's Dyke, Wales
Offa's Dyke in the Rain
Myself, Simon and Matt set off from Oldcastle for 2 days of backpacking across Offa's Dyke. Up on top, the rain and wind so horrendous that we abandoned our plans, and after 20km+ along the Welsh-English border we were back in the car and off to the pub. It was so wet, we didn't take a single photo.

Petzl Aztars: Going Leashless
Finally found time to convert my Petzl Aztars so I can climb leashless. Fitted a Petzl Sum'tec Trigrest to the bottom of both shafts, an operation which involved more cutting and gluing than originally expected. I recommend a sharp scalpel blade and lots of 2-part acrylic glue.
Norway
Kjeragbolten & Lysefjorden
Taking advantage of the four day holiday, myself and Adam headed out to Norway to walk the length of the Lysefjorden in three days. The main tourist attractions of Kjeragbolten and Preikestolen were joined together with some fairly epic backpacking in suprisingly wintery conditions.
