		<description><![CDATA[So I was planning to go running today then mix and match with some winter walking during the week, but a quick look at the forecast for Monday and beyond (big gales and sustained snow melt, with the MWIS now threatening 100mph gusts on the highest summits!) had me thinking &#8216;carpe diem&#8217; and heading up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I climbed North-East Buttress (IV,4, and one of the great classic ridges) on Ben Nevis with Isi Oakley in glorious late-season conditions. Got overtaken early on by Steve Kennedy and Bob Hamilton, who disappeared soloing quickly up the gully above the First Platform, and spent much of the day catching another pair (Richard and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While it&#8217;s no longer close to the monstrous undertaking that foiled many leading climbers prior to its controversial first ascent in 1959, Point Five Gully (V,5) on Ben Nevis remains one of the most prized winter climbs for the recreational mountaineer, described in Colin Stead&#8217;s Cold Climbs essay as &#8216;probably the most famous ice gully [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today was supposed to be the climbing day I&#8217;d &#8216;earned&#8217; after another tough week&#8217;s running but, with my prospective partner&#8217;s legs apparently screaming/shot from skiing yesterday and me not fancying yet another run on some purgatorially snow-compromised local off-road course, I had to find something else to do. So I headed up to the Quoich [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today Jamie B and I headed to the North-East Corrie of Beinn an Dothaidh in search of some sensible mixed climbing in conditions where serious avalanche risk following this week&#8217;s dumps of snow over surface hoar still ruled out many of the more &#8216;traditional&#8217; venues. And it soon became obvious on our approach to The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just back (last night) from Winter Mountain Leader Training at Glenmore Lodge with instructors Eric Pirie, David Haygarth and (for one day) John Armstrong. Don&#8217;t know when I last saw (or dug!) so much snow, but there was plenty to play with in conditions ranging from spectacularly clear to total whiteout, the standard of instruction [...]]]></description>

Well, it&#8217;s got to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I climbed Italian Right-Hand (IV,4) on Ben Nevis with Stephan Mors. While we&#8217;d been hoping that Harrison&#8217;s Climb Direct (same grade) on Carn Dearg might be in, what we could see of it looked quite bare and unformed as we walked past so the search for another route was on. And Italian Right-Hand proved [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just had a great weekend with my brother Angus when we climbed the classic Twisting Gully (III,4) on Stob Coire nan Lochan yesterday and went mountain biking all round the Torlundy/Leanachan area today. Had headed to SCNL with Original/Raeburn&#8217;s Route in mind, but changed our objective when it became apparent that we&#8217;d have to wait [...]]]></description>
