  13. Some snaps from this week's "Arista del Campanitas" scramble.

    Feeling inspired, I'm drafting a blog titled "Treading the Fine Line Between Scrambling and Rock Climbing" — exploring that gloriously confusing grey zone where our discipline labels overlap.

    First image traces the approximate route; the rest capture the kind of scenery that makes you forget your legs are burning.

  18. What a day yesterday. Lasting memories of that one for sure. Las Campanitas ridge to Veleta. A complex, dramatic route done without fuss or drama. Here's one with Linda at the summit of Salón 3325m with other members of our group scrambling up the right hand ridge

  23. Really looking forward to "la Arista del Campanitas" tomorrow. This ridge to Veleta 3394m summit is a proper scrambling route with grade 3+ (S) rock sections. Will be nice to get in the cool air above 3000m and get my hands on warm rock again.
