Snow cave and climbing weekend.

The below zero temperatures have given us good climbing and excellent snow caving conditions.

A wonderful day climbing on Lurchers Crag in the Cairngorms, we were the only climbing party there and enjoyed the tranquilty!

Ricks toes are well!

Rick came round last night and we got some photos of his toes, he had one big toe removed  but just a tiny bit to the first joint. Our ascent of the Mazino Ridge of Nanga Parbat took us close to the limits but it was such an ace climb that Rick says it was well worth it. My own toes and digits have healed up well and  I even feel good in my best and close fitting rock shoes!

Sorry the  blogger is not letting me upload photos today!!!!!!
