So that was Summer 2010

This summer has been very busy, beginning with a good early season of bouldering in the Peak District, followed by an Italian Alps trip, a Morocco trekking expedition, North Wales navigation courses and many days out rock climbing, in essence things have been as packed as possible. For the Alps trip we were blessed with two weeks of fine weather.  We started off with intentions of completing the North Face of the Gran Paridesio, but scorching weather forced us to abandon our original plan and so we worked more on rock oriented routes. We spent almost every day out, sport climbing, mulit-pitch routing or high in the proper mountains, but by far the hardest and scariest day out was an unnamed 6 pitch E2 in the Aosta valley.  I have included photos of some of the more popular routes we completed, giving you a taster of what we got up to.
