Cadair Idris

Jul 18th 2021

Cadair 3 Ways

A roasting hot wild camp+climb adventure with Cat and Louise in southern Snowdonia. There's not much else in the area that's very tall, so we decided to make the trip longer by hiking Cadair three times. Step 1 was to start from the south side and traverse the mountain to a camp by Llyn y Gader. The next morning we were up early to climb Cyfrwy Arete and Table Direct, before descending to our bags at the base and then summiting once more from north > south. Very sweaty, very fun.

Schneibstein, Berchtesgaden

Mar 7th 2020

Snowshoe on Schneibstein

Louise, Cat and I set off on a two day adventure to the Carl von Stahl-Haus on snow-shoes. The poor weather on the approach laid down the powder for a glorious Sunday ascent of Schneibstein. We hadn't brought any avalanche gear so opted to retrace our steps rather than risk the descent from Windscharte onto the Stiergraben. A superb two day outing - thanks for visiting again!

Rauris, Pinzgau

Mar 6th 2020

Rauris Langlaufen

A wet, overcast day with Cat & Louise - perfect weather for a lap of the Rauris langlaufen circuit on the recommendation of Matt+Anja.

Schafberg, Salzkammergut

Jul 8th 2019

Rainy Schafberg

Quite a contrast to Saturday, a rainy ascent of Schafberg as far as the Schafbergalpe Bahnhof. Very wet.

Grosser Donnerkogel, Dachsteingebirge

Jul 6th 2019

Grosser Donnerkogel Klettersteig

The iconic, photogenic bridge on the Grosser Donnerkogel Klettersteig had been a route I'd wanted to do ever since moving to Salzburg. Cat and Louise visiting for the weekend provided the perfect opportunity to visit the area. Despite the crowds on the early part of the route, we had an amazing day out - the route might be quite easy overall, but don't underestimate the overall length if you want to catch the lift back down again.

Triglavski Narodni Park, Slovenia

May 22nd 2018

In the shadow of Triglav

CatO and DaveO joined Erinna and I for a long weekend snow-shoeing adventure around the Triglav National Park. Starting from the base of the Slap Savica waterfall, we hiked in to Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih and then on to Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih to the west of Triglav itself. There was a bit too much snow to attempt the summit, so instead we did a long circular hike on snowshoes, returning to the car after three nights of huts.
