Big Challenge
Walking solo up a mountain called 'Pillar' tomorrow (2975FT) at the crack of dawn (taking a torch) Not sure whether to be excited or Scared.
Thing is though, it will be amazing if its pulled off, and if I keep alive I will be one happy kid! My next reccomendation is on its way, I can sense it.
If im not on here again by monday night - Ive ceased to be

Funny really, it was suppose to be nice weather, so set off in the dark. The Clouds were very low, and there were showers.. After getting above 2000FT or so the conditions were polar!

On the way to summit
Looking Towards Windy Gap - you can just make it out in the distance, you descend a fair bit before reaching it..
Wasn't much kop for views, but walking in those conditions is simply brilliant

Mate those pics are awesome - looks like you are high up a mountain in another country there!
Didn't realise we had any snow left on the peaks - thought it had been quite mild recently and melted it all away! Wish we had some hills for me to trek up here

Cheers mate, there is a lot of snow around, its strange because it hasn't really been snowing here!
The Dangers of snow climbing though are very real
