Big effort going to the summit, then the descent all the way to St Niklaus. You guys are gluttons for punishment. Pity about the clouds though. We had clear sunny skies that day and the views from some spots were stunning. But I guess we're all at the mercy of the weather gods when we're out hiking.
Thanks Graeme, nice comments again from you. Yeah, we like to do it the hard way. (Wait until you see day 13). Even though we had the clouds, it still made for a great atmospheric outing. Everyone on that day all went straight over the pass and missed out on a nice summit. So we had the benefit of the summit and ridge to ourselves and the bonus of that break in the clouds.
Yet another inspiring video lads. Hoping age and ailments don't prevent us from following in your footsteps in the future.
Thanks again, Ian, for your nice comments. Yes, I will keep doing it for as long as I am able. One step at a time, and you get there.
Canny cloudy on the tops 🎉
Thanks Ducky, just like being back up the Wainwrights
