I felt inspired to write a blog post ... "Treading the fine line between Scrambling and Rock Climbing"

Some thoughts on personal doubts, risk, mountain companions & rope protection in that grey area where scrambling and rock climbing overlap.

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.

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

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.

Came across this wonderful image from Arctic photographer, Martin Hartley, which shows me skiing up from base camp on Klyutchevskoy Sopka. The mountain had started erupting before we arrived and the volcanic ash on the snow gave the terrain an almost lunar look.

They used Xenon to climb Everest in days – is it the future of mountaineering?

The UIAA has released a statement on the use of xenon for high-altitude mountaineering.

100 years ago, Andrew Comyn "Sandy" Irvine vanished when attempting to climb Everest with George Mallory, whose body was found in 1999. Last month, a team of climbers filming a documentary for @NationalGeographic found a preserved boot and foot, with a sock labeled "A.C. Irvine." Now, the search is on for the rest of Irvine's body — and the camera and undeveloped film he is said to have been carrying. "It could potentially help solve one of mountaineering's biggest mysteries: whether or not the pair succeeded in becoming the first people to summit Everest, 29 years before Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the top," write @BBCNews's Tessa Wong and Flora Drury.

It's early days, but as someone who wants to #mountaineer one day, I was fascinated.

Genus #Blautia, a common #gut #bacteria studied for other reasons (increased cognitive development in infants & lower risk of #obesity & #diabetes in adults), can also possibly reduce damage caused by #AltitudeSickness

What an adventure 🤠
We as #AlpSoil_Lab from #EuracResearch set up our highest pitfall traps yet at high #alpine sites at 3300m and 3100m.
These #GLORIA sites are quite steep and challenging to reach, but I can't wait to see the #soilfauna living up there 🔍

People are small 14

That's not how summit shelters work.

Dreamy look from this Expired Portra 160VC.
