as i had a funny wipeout this morning resulting in a broken board nose and a blue ankle i finally got my thin ass out of the atlantic and will post some pics from the trip to ladakh in august. it was amazing!!! the more botanically minded amongst you may recognize the plants that the donkeys are eating - we were quite surprised when we got off the bus to have a piss and found the thing growing all over the place...:)
ladakh's quite a dry place, few water and even fewer beer... however, we spent a great time there with the ascent of stok kangri (20082ft) as a high"light" - damn hard to breathe there!
well, i'm quite looking forward to my return to scotland's green and wet pastures and am quite happy to see that you people continue to do some great stuff! best regards

Nice pics man looks like a good trip, how long were you out for and how high was that peak you got up (metres please canny work in feet)?
Anyway when you back in bony Scotland? Must be looking forward to the cold and the rain :P
andy, good to hear from you - kind of hard to compete with your pictures...:) thought you islanders work in feet?? well, spent 4 weeks in india, 3 of which in the mountains. the peak was 6125m high and technically really easy. got some headache, though:) will be back to scotland for a weekend mid november, should get some climbing done! should be back for some months in february next year then, in time for winterclimbing season... see you man and keep up the good work!
