[Steve on Smith's Route, 1 kb]
Steve on Smith's Route
Sometimes it happens. A route, a day, or a whole trip that makes it all worthwhile. A reward for weekend after weekend of trudging through loose powder, repeated failure, motivational crises, hot-aches, standing at belays being gradually buried in spindrift, agonising over weather forecasts, and all the usual pleasures associated with Scottish winter climbing. This was one such experience. Andy Ruck (AKA Plummet) has a perfect week on Ben Nevis.

Reviewed: Black Diamond Black Diamond Verdict ski (2008 model)
[Even in deep powder the ski floated very well, 2 kb]"Yes, it's a ski review. Skis are an essential part of winter climbing in the Alps and with more Brits climbing in the Alps it's time more climbers looked closely at the advantages of a ski's as a means of approach and descent from climbs. It's a scene I've seen countless times out here in Chamonix- a couple of strong determined Brits leave the winter hut a good hour before us only to then find them struggling in snow shoes in chest deep snow retreating from the approach. I used to be the same! Granted some times snow shoes are fine but there is a lot to be said for using skis. " Jon Griffith takes a ride on the Black Diamond Verdict skis.
