A good day out with Jesson on the Jägihorn, 3206m yesterday. Went to climb Panorama 5A/C to acclimatise before hitting the 4000m peaks later this week.

Great climb. Nice solid rock and consistent interesting moves. Not done a lot of sport multi-pitch, but I’m converted.

Sometimes a photograph makes itself. You just have to be in the right place at the right time.

This gent wondered straight into my frame as I shot the Kutubiyya mosque in Marrakesh yesterday. Perfect attire, right down to the yellow shoes.

Last minute raid on Kinder Downfall with Phil over the weekend before the storm hit. Managed to climb a sketchy Kinder Downfall II/III despite the delightful sound of running water and ice debris scattered around the bottom. First winter climb in the Peaks!
